About The Wine
Collina is a single vineyard Chardonnay, only made in years when the conditions allow, and this incarnation is a belter.
The complexity, weight and texture demonstrate why this particular parcel is so highly regarded, the nose is a little shy but some time in the glass gives a glimpse of the nuance to come.
The palate is more immediately expressive with white stone fruit and ripe citrus flavours and there is a lick of smoky reduction on the finish that is extremely appealing.
All in all, an utterly delicious glass of Tasmanian goodness grown by some of the most considered hands around. Get some.
About Stefano Lubiana
Steve and Monique Lubiana were pioneers of biodynamic farming in Tasmania.
Their gorgeous estate was the first to adopt the principals of biodynamics in 2008. Since then the quality of the Stefano Lubiana premium range has soared. The wines are immaculate: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Sparklings all packed with flavour intensity and perfect balance.
As Mike Bennie observed, "Geez, there’s been some wind in the sail on their estate in southern Tasmania. This is top notch stuff right here."
Steve, a fifth-generation winemaker, is now one of Tasmania's leading producers, no doubt about it.
