Tasmania will host the 2012 International Cool Climate Wine Symposium, to be held in Hobart February 1-4 2012, supported by a program
of regional wine and food events. According to Wine Industry Tasmania CEO Sheralee Davies, "hosting this international conference in 2012
provides Tasmania with an outstanding opportunity to reinforce its cool climate winemaking credentials to the world".
The centrepiece ofthe conference will be the results of a major national research project into pinot noir and sparkling wines which is
expected to attract much attention from around the world.

Tasmania's temperate climate nurtures plump chardonnay, pinot noir, riesling, sauvignon blanc and pinot gris grapes, producing wines
of natural elegance and intensity. Tasmania's impressive wine CV is strengthened by a touch of sparkle: Tasmanian grapes also create
some of Australia's best sparkling wines.
Some of Australia's finest pinot noirs have their provenance on the island. Without a hint of braggadocio Tassie's friendly, plain
speaking vineyard owners, wine makers and cellar door folk will tell you themselves. But if you need more evidence of Tasmania's
wine kudos you could soak this up: Tamar Ridge's sauvignon blanc was named the best of its type in the world by the UK's Decanter
magazine and the Bay of Fires pinot noir was also awarded the 'Best Red Wine' trophy at the National Wine Show of Australia in
November 2010. This was the first time a pinot noir has won the award.
Stefano Lubiano
After searching Australia, fifth-generation winemaker Steve Lubiana selected Tasmania for his cool-climate vineyard.
Overlooking the spectacular tidal estuary ofthe River Derwent at Granton, 20 km (12 miles) north of Hobart, Stefano Lubiana Wines
remains a family owned and operated business, focused on producing small quantities of hand crafted, cool climate, Tasmanian wines.
First planted to the Burgundy varieties of chardonnay and pinot noir during the spring of 1991, the vineyard has expanded over the years to its
current area of 18 hectares of closely spaced vines. There are also plantings of merlot, sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio, riesling and nebbioto.
Stefano Lubiana Wines are distributed nationally to every state and territory, and to a number of overseas countries.
