Marco Lubiana, Chardonnay 2023

Place: Tasmania, Australia

Grape: Chardonnay

Vibe: Future Classic

As with the Pinot, fruit sourced from the Huon and Derwent holdings of the Lubiana family. Fermentation was slow, and the wine spent 12 months on lees in a mixture of barrel. Plenty going on, all of it to like. A Chardy of presence and character, starting generous and ripe fruited, finishing lip-smacking and salty. A winner. ABV: 13%
