Stefano Lubiana NV Spark

Having recently been exposed to an array of Smaller Champagne house and some iconic Australian concerns, I was left in aure upon tasting a clever sparkling released from Steve Lubiana. The apple isle has been highlighted recently in the press as Australia's premier region for sparkling wine grapes. Steve's reputation has been built on mainly the still wines produced across a large array of  styles suited mainly to cooler viticulture . A supremely elegant bead teases the eye long before the mouth starts to salivate. Crisp vibrant acidity meets all expectations. No real yeasty or bready nuances to tick the other usual boxes, just a muscular grapefruit like tartness to guarantee quality and prove the ability of Lubiana to cover all  wine styles suited to Tasmania.
