2021 Stefano Lubiana Primavera Chardonnay

Named after springtime, Stefano Lubiana Primavera Chardonnay is bright and fresh and already drinking beautifully. This is 100% estate-grown, single-vineyard certified-biodynamic Chardonnay grown in the Derwent Valley on a mix of two terroirs: grey gravelly loams over clay and red loam over gravel. 50% was fermented and stored in seasoned Austrian oak fuder. About 10% was fermented and raised in new and 2nd fill French oak barrels. Roughly 40% was fermented and raised in stainless steel. All lots spent time on lees and 50% of the wine has gone through malolactic fermentation.
