PinotNoir / Derwent / Tasmania
Lot 7 is Winstead's original block of Pinot Noir, planted high on a hill overlooking the panorama between Chauncy Vale and Bagdad Valley. A place of ample sunlight, its low fertile soils yield a uniquely intense wine of opaque fruit and the sleekest velvet tannins. Grapes are de stemmed into small half tonne open vats, cold soaked and wild fermented, laboriously hand plunged several times daily, basket pressed and treated to natural malolactic, followed by a year's maturation in a mix of new and seasoned oak. Seriously small batch, an extraordinary experience in Pinot Noir.

PinotNoir / Derwent / Tasmania
Winstead is a place of Pinot passion, two magnificent blocks of vine separated by a few metres in distance and just four years of age. They each yield an extraordinary Pinot Noir, the younger Lot 16 however will vintage a little later in the season, an additional fortnight of ripening permits the berries to bloom with flavour and to sing in complete resonance. Completely destemmed into open vats, wild fermented and frequently plunged, followed by malolactic and a year in fine French oak. Powerful, generous, sound structure and self assuredness, an intensity that lingers.

The Tolpuddle Martyrs were English farmhands whose only crime was to establish a workers union in the world's newest nation, perfect stock with strong backs to labour as penal colonists, they served out their sentence on the site of Tolpuddle Vineyard. The property is now planted to blocks of fully mature vines, they face northeast and slope gently up from Back Tea Tree Road. Soils are light silica over sandstone, only moderate in vigor, the ideal terroir for minimalist yields of the most remarkably balanced and wonderfully intense Pinot Noir.

Shiraz / Derwent / Tasmania
There are a few parcels of Shiraz on the Lubiana property which lend themselves very nicely, to the finely boned styles of Cotes du Rhone. Selection of fruit is the genesis, the manner of vinification plays an essential role. The timing of macerations are cardinal to the extraction of fruit, building velvet texture and infusing fine tannin, ferments for the most part, must be carried out without moving or disturbing the wine as it evolves. A judicious term in fine French oak has trimmed and shaped the palate to perfection, Stefano recommends smoked meats, suckling pig sausages or quail in pancetta and polenta.

Primavera gets better every year, Lubiana experiments with wild or cultured yeasts and employs whole bunch ferments where appropriate to create remarkable wines. He is mindful that Great Pinot Noir is never a blockbuster, Primavera opens with engaging bouquets of red floral fruit, the story that follows tells a tale of juicy berries, fine grained tannins and a touch of undergrowth. Inspiring improvements throughout the vintages have been achieved, without compromising the seamlessness and balance of a forward drinking, limited production Pinot Noir in light Beaujolais styling.

Primavera is a very close sibling to Lubiana's estate flagship Chardonnay, quality of fruit has reached the highest standards of excellence, the vines are smothered with love and the harvests are the finest on the apple isle. Chardonnay was at the very establishment of Lubiana vineyards in 1991, it remains at the very core of the illustrious Lubiana range. A mix of two terriors, grey gravelly loams over clay and red loam over gravel, yield a tally of superlative parcels which are assembled into a magnificent accord of sweet and saline perfumes, beguilingly garrulous fruits and luxuriously crystalline textures.

Merlot / Derwent / Tasmania
Stefano Lubiana believes that every sip of wine should tell you a story, like a movie or good book. It should have a beginning, a middle and an end, one that builds gradually to meet the expectation of a high level satisfaction and enjoyment. Truly great vineyards manage to tell a compelling story each and every year. Located in the Granton region, along River Derwent, Lubiana's closely cossetted block of Merlot is planted to a patch of propitious silty gravel loams. It speaks of healthy soils, fertile with the elements which infuse the wine with redolent plum blueberry flavours, gentle textures and velvet tannins.

With every successive vintage, Lubiana has endeavoured to extract the most engaging personalities from within his sternly measured harvests. An exciting cépage of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, treated to a bespoke ferment and elevage, the aim being to coalesce the individual characters into a whole that's so much greater than the sum of parts. Thanks to the rhapsody of fruits and a short course of skin contacts, Amphora glows with a handsome golden orange hue, its roast apricot and snow pea nose precedes a rich textural palate, ripe fruit flavours and crisp herbaceous finish.

William Lyne arrived in Van Diemen's Land on October of 1826. His descendants established Spring Vale in 1875 and have pursued farming ventures in this beautiful area of Tasmania's east coast ever since. Rodney and Lyn Lyne planted 6.6 hectares of vine at Spring Vale, principally Pinot Noir in 1986. Further plantings were made in the following years, more Pinot Noir and more Pinot Noir again, with a splash of Pinot Meunier for variety. Today, Spring Vale can lay claim to the most coveted editions of Van Diemen's Land Pinot Noir.
