Stefano Lubiana 'Collina' Chardonnay 2022

Biodynamic

Biodynamically farmed Derwent Valley chardonnay with a distinctly Burgundian aromatic profile; all white peach and citrus and struck match complexity with hints of grilled nuts, nougat, white flowers and crushed stone. Rapier-like precision on the palate with flint notes galore, driving mineral acidity and complexity to burn. Plenty of horsepower despite its linear framework. Great stuff. Drink to 2030. 95 Points. Dave Brookes, Halliday's Wine Companion.

Certified biodynamic vines and best bits of the best plot(s). Fancy stuff. Cork sealed now.

Quite peachy and nectarine-y with honey toast, cinnamon spice, lemon curd and gingery notes - an intense perfume and big flavour spectrum to taste. That being said, crispness sits under more rich and fuller flavours, a core of lime and saline-mineral characters, a sense of vitality is writ large. It kind of goes a few speeds here, potent, powerful, fresh, zingy. In all this, a very compelling, satisfying, full chardonnay chardonnay, if you get the drift. 94 Points. Mike Bennie, The Wine Front.
