Description

The Stefano Lubiana Pinot Noir is an estate-vineyard wine from Tasmania's beautiful Derwent Valley upriver from Hobart. Despite the extreme southerly latitude, the wine still presents abundant tannin, as well as the expected, bright acidity. Notes of red fruit and spice and a wonderful mouthfeel make this wine a joy to drink.

Steve and Monique describe their Estate Pinot Noir as one that needs a bit of time to reach its full potential, so it's worthwhile letting it rest for another year or so, or decanting it a few hours before drinking, to let it breathe, open up, and show you how good it can be.

93 Points - "Strength to strength for Stefano Lubiana wines. Red cherry, smoky spice, peppery notes, clove and bitter orange characters. Flavours and scents in synch. Tight and lean as an expression, tart, dry, savoury, with strong minerally characters and laid back fruitiness. Sheesh, this one is restrained. Needs time, significantly." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

95 Points - "There is something compelling about the coiled reticence of a cool season on the Derwent. Intricately structured with fine-boned tannins and nicely toned acid drive, this is a vintage for the cellar. There is much more integrity, persistence and definition wrapped in its folds than first glances suggest. Its elegant rose petal and red cherry fruit will emerge in time. Patience will be rewarded." - Tyson Stelzer (Halliday Wine Companion)

93 Points - "Good depth of colour and a rich wine with ample concentration and plenty of presence, if not much happening aromatically. A satisfying glass of pinot noir but the nose is a bit muted and it lacks the lifted Tassie pinot fruit anticipated." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

The Estate Pinot Noir biodynamic is aromatic on the nose, a combination of cherry blossom and the smell of the forest after rain. More complexity will show with maturation. The palate is rich and perfectly balanced between fruit sweetness and tannin grip. The length of the wine persists and the finish is dry.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
