Our Review
Stefano Stefani came to Australia in 1985. Business success has allowed him and wife Rina to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, who had a vineyard and was an avid wine collector. The first property they acquired was at Long Gully Road in the Yarra Valley, planted to pinot grigio, cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay and pinot noir. The next was in Heathcote, where they acquired a property adjoining that of Mario Marson (ex Mount Mary), built a winery and established 14.4ha of shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc, malbec and petit verdot. In 2003 a 2nd Yarra Valley property, named The View, reflecting its high altitude, was acquired and Dijon clones of chardonnay and pinot noir were planted; that vineyard is currently undergoing organic conversion. In addition, 1.6ha of sangiovese have been established, using scion material from the original Stefani Vineyard in Tuscany. Exports to China. -JAMES HALLIDAY
