Chardonnay, 2024

Light, textured and a bit honeyed, with Tasmanian cool-climate tension running through it.

Marco Lubiana grew up on his parents' Stefano Lubiana vineyard at Granton on the Derwent River, Tasmania's first certified biodynamic vineyard, and was named Australia's best young winemaker in 2024. His chardonnay comes from two neighbouring estate blocks, vines around 25 years old. Wild yeast straight into French oak, a little of it new, and almost a year resting on lees (the spent yeast), which builds texture. Mineral, light and elegant, with honey and spice and plenty of flavour.
