2008 Stefano Lubiana Primavera Pinot Noir
“Lubiana is right on the money with this bright and lively Pinot showing approachable spicy red cherries, some earthy sweet spices and an up-front charm. The palate has svelte, fine and fleshy tannins, tracing out perfectly ripened red fruit flavours. Impressive length, subtle oak and impeccable balance. 94 points.”

2009 Stefano Lubiana Sauvignon Blanc
“Local hero. Everyone loves a good savvy blanc and this one is made at Granton outside Hobart, by one of Tasmania’s most talented winemakers. It’s beautifully balanced with zippy apple and citrus flavours making it crisp and refreshing. Pair it with fish dishes, or take it along to your local Asian joint.”

2009 Stefano Lubiana Sauvignon Blanc
“Stefano Lubiana’s 2009 presents an attractively refined nose of restrained varietal quality … (and) the wine drives home with true lasting impression.
Fans of Stefano Lubiana’s style would do well to invest in this supremely drinkable sauvignon blanc. It’s true to the man’s ideals of full flavour, elegant structure and natural balance. Drink to 2011. 92 points.”
