Stefano Lubiana Grande Vintage 2013

Steves spiel - Our 2013 Grande Vintage Brut, a 60/40 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.  An epic wine with 11 years on lees, and disgorged in July 2024. The nose is reminiscent of lemon peel, honeysuckle, mineral and a hint of fresh honeycomb. There is a fine bead and delectable mousse. The palate is lithe with bright lemon, jazz apple and winter nelis pear with balanced acid. Hazelnut meal, honey nougat and marzipan back up the fresh first impression carrying into a long finish. Drinking beautifully now this wine can also benefit from further bottle ageing.
