Description

Stefano Lubiana's Chardonnays show serious power and weight in the glass.

There is a movement in Tasmania toward a leaner, racier style of Chardonnay, with many producer looking for acid-driven wines rather than those with richness.

Steve Lubiana bucks the trend. His estate-grown Chardonnay shows glorious ripe fruit and a perfect seasoning from top quality oak lending spice; succulent stonefruits enveloped in a bed of minerality.

It's a class act and will easily stack up against the very best of the Apple Isle.

This wine has all the elements of a great Chardonnay present – fruit, oak, acid, creamy texture & complexity, but no element overpowers the other. A wonderful wine to enjoy now, or watch it grow and develop over the years.

100% Derwent Valley estate grown, single vineyard

Vineyard management: 100% Certified Biodynamic

96 Points - "Estate biodynamic vineyard in the Derwent Valley; 250 dozen. The refinement that Steve Lubiana has brought to his chardonnay over recent vintages is something to behold. He's achieved the holy grail of elegance without sacrificing definition, concentration, persistence or endurance. Pristine white fruits are ever-so-gently propelled by high-class French oak. Crystalline acidity illuminates a finish of pinpoint accuracy, undeterred line and magnificent persistence." - Tyson Stelzer (Halliday Wine Companion)

94 Points - "Texture is the first imprint. So pleasant, supple, fresh, gently creamy and wholly fresh and bright. Aromas are rich and appealing, stone fruit, citrus, marshmallow and cashew with cinnamon spice dusted on. Excellent carriage of flavour too, riper fruit characters, a little washy though with more creamy, nougat oak and sweet spice seasoning to taste. Finishes fresh and with a light, chalky pucker. Pure class." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
