Stalwart biodynamic winemaker Steve Lubiana is meticulous both in the vineyard and cellar. Unsurprisingly, this approach results in precise and expressive wines that showcase the best of south-eastern Tasmania.
La Roccia, or the ‘rock’ in Italian, is a nod to the main geological feature of this block—a large limestone rock shelf in the middle of it. It’s always picked first and consistently produces wines with the greatest structure and tannin of the three blocks.
