Stefano Lubiana Primavera Chardonnay 2011


Stefano Lubiana Primavera Chardonnay 2011

Chardonnay is the most exciting grape variety at the moment in Australia! Every time I taste a group of wines I say yes the quality is great and the region is one of the best at producing high quality Chardonnay so it comes as no surprise that Stefano Lubiana has produced a beauty of an entry level wine that is a little rounder and more forgiving than its big brother at this early stage. There are notes of salted nuts and nectarines with some more robust flavours of tinned summer fruits coming through. There is minimal oak intervention so the true fruit flavours can shine through as of today. This is the sort of wine that I would buy to open at any stage while I wait for the chiseled Chardonnays to evolve in the bottle.
