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.

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.
