2022 Stefano Lubiana Riesling Biodynamic, Derwent Valley

Certified-biodynamic riesling from Tasmania's Derwent Valley. Pale straw in the glass, the wine is all fresh lime and green apple crunch with hints of crushed stone, white flowers, makrut lime and a whiff of fennel. There is just a squeak of phenolic texture before the wine coils and zooms off thanks to a bright line of sherbety acidity leaving a wake of almond blossom, apple and lime as it retreats. Super drinking.

Tasmania’s ultra cool climate is perfect for making Riesling wines with finesse and distinction. Lubiana's winemaking philosphy takes full advantage of the perfectly balanced pristine fruit from the naturally cultivated vineyard. Minimal handling and whole bunch pressing together with the use of wild yeast fermentation in large format Austrian oak results in wines with the purest expression of their terroir.
