Established in 1990, Stefano Lubiana Wines is a family-owned and operated winery and vineyard that is the island state’s first and only certified biodynamic vineyard. Stefano (Steve) Lubiana’s much sought-after wines are the result of a passionate quest for perfection. This passion, along with freethinking and attention to detail create wines that reflect this vision. The focus on organic and biodynamic principals has only strengthened his desire to create wines that have distinctive character, free flowing elegance and wines that are truly unique. It’s almost impossible to put into words the significance of Stefano Lubiana and his place in the Tasmanian wine industry. Steve has been cultivating the vines under biodynamic conditions since 2010, which means that the wines are free of all synthetic treatments and pesticides. Instead, he has stepped back in time and uses cosmic rhythms to ensure correct soil tilling and recuperation as well as effective vine care through all phases of the year’s cycle. Innovative use of barrel and whole-bunch fermentation and wild yeasts, he handcrafts a distinctive range of wines. With most of the 25ha estate planted to the two great Burgundian varieties of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay it’s no secret that with meticulous vineyard craftsmanship and sympathetic and thoughtful wine making, these wines are quickly becoming the most revered and desirable in Australia.
