The 2024 Stefano Lubiana Pinot Gris is a beautifully textured cool-climate white from Tasmania’s Derwent Valley, crafted from certified biodynamic, estate-grown fruit. Produced from a single vineyard block, this Pinot Gris combines aromatic lift with depth and structure, showcasing a more refined and layered style than many traditional examples. The nose is fragrant and expressive, revealing aromas of rosewater, nashi pear, white peach and cut straw, alongside subtle spice and floral notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a luscious texture balanced by vibrant natural acidity. Flavours of apricot, quince, yellow apple and ripe pear are complemented by hints of spice and mineral complexity, while gentle phenolic grip adds shape and persistence. The finish is long, dry and finely balanced, carrying both freshness and texture with impressive precision.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Pinot Gris for customers who enjoy textured, food-friendly whites with genuine vineyard character. Its balance of orchard fruit, spice and refreshing acidity makes it a superb match for roast pork, fresh seafood, creamy mushroom dishes and soft-ripened cheeses. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to develop additional complexity over the next 3–5 years.
