Tasmania is an island State which is separated from the southeast coast of mainland Australia by Bass Strait. These vineyards are Australia’s most southerly, the first vineyard planted in 1823 near Hobart.

However, supplementary irrigation is needed because of low rainfall. The Huon Valley is yet to make its mark. Moorilla Estate is perhaps the most important producer. Certainly it is making some very good Pinot Noir, Merlot and Riesling. Its Gewurztraminer is highly regarded, too, but none of these wines performs on the secondary market. The small Domaine A, located at Campania near Coal River, is also showing potential for its Pinot Noir and Cabernet.

Langton’s Selection
Stefano Lubiana Sasso Pinot Noir
Stefano Lubiana Wines is gaining a reputation as one of Australia’s top Pinot Noir Producers. The 18 hectare vineyard, planted on gravelly/alluvial soils leading down to the Derwent Estuary at Granton 20 kilometres north of Hobart, is reaching a compelling maturity.
Sasso (stone) is a selection of best barrels and is only made from a distinguished vintage. Yields are a very low: 1kg per vine; well below the Australian average. A ‘hands-off’ approach is central to Burgundian style winemaking philosophy. The wine is matured in 50% new French oak for 12 months before bottling. The 2005 is a beautifully fragrant wine with red cherry/ meaty/ savoury aromas and flavours, lovely mid-palate richness and fine silken tannins. This is a particularly rare bottling. Top vintages: 2008 & 2005.
Stefano Lubiana is also making very high standard sparkling wines. His prestige vintage sparkling wine based on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sp

Stefano Lubiana is also making very high standard sparkling wines. His prestige vintage sparkling wine based on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir spends ten years on yeast lees! This is definitely a producer with huge potential.
