Mild weather and frequent rainfall encouraged vegetative growth and full bunches, however these conditions also brought with it the increased risk of disease. Careful attention was paid in the vineyard with increased shoot thinning and leaf plucking that kept the canopies open to mitigate any disease. Veraison was delayed due to the cooler weather however the grapes ripened at lower sugar levels and higher natural acidity, perfect for sparkling wine production, and the reason we made a Prestige in the 2011 vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine has a fine bead and golden honey hue.

Majority of the fruit is yielded from our biodynamic vineyard in Granton located in the Derwent Valley. The other small portion of fruit is sourced from our Cradoc vineyard, in the heart of the Huon Valley. The Granton soil is varied with a gravel base covered in red loam with patches of riverbed silt, chalky soil, and in comparison the Cradoc soil is composite cobble stone over white clay. The mix of these terroirs gives this wine a beautiful balance flavour and silky tannin. Our Granton fruit offers layers of savoury notes while adding more structure to the palate. Whereas the fruit from our Cradoc vineyard has slower ripening, good structure and approachable tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% hand picked grapes are processed immediately. The fruit undergoes a portion of wild fermentaton in open and closed top fermenters with a mixture of whole bunch and destemmed fruit. The wine on skins is then drained and gently basket pressed using our 4 tonnes basket press before being barrelled down by gravity to the underground cellar filling our 225L French oak barriques and a small portion of larger format oak. The wine matures in these conditions until it is transferred to tank a month prior to bottling. Sulphur is kept low and little to no fining. Bottled in February 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 Primavera Pinot Noir has a lifted nose which is alive with a combination of pronounced red fruits – dark cherries, raspberries, brambly mulberries followed by baking spice. The palate is generous with raspber­ry and cherry with good mid palate that has power and firm tannins. As a result together with its concentrated fruit characters this wine has great length and complexity. Enjoy now but this wine will reward you with maturation in cellar conditions and can be put down for 5+ years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cellar Link Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41980317794367,"sku":"CH-SLEPIN23PRIMA","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/7674\/7071\/files\/CH-SLW-Estate-Pinot-Noir_1.png?v=1756110814"},{"product_id":"2000-stefano-lubiana-riesling-1-5l-014a","title":"2000 Stefano Lubiana Riesling 1.5L","description":"\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:14px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStefano Lubiana\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRiesling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRiesling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSouthern TAS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Score\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.3\/10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-top:12px;font-size:13px;color:#666;\"\u003eProfessionally stored in temperature-controlled conditions.
