96 Points - Ray Jordan | RRP $40
The Holm Oak team has been crafting outstanding expressions of cool-climate wine for more than a decade and are now recognised as one of Tasmania's leading wineries.
This 2024 Holm Oak Chardonnay is another refined and elegant cool climate Tasmanian Chardonnay. The nose displays vibrant aromas of citrus fruit, apricot kernel and white peach. The palate is beautifully structured, with these quality fruit flavours shining through with excellent intensity and balance. Supported by subtle quality French oak and lively acidity, this is an impressive Chardonnay that will offer plenty of joy over the coming decade.
"96 Points. Oh, I do like this excellent Chardonnay which embraces three clones from two vineyards. Everything pretty much happened naturally with gentle pressing to 30% new and the remainder one to four-year-old oak. Fragrant florals with a mix of vanilla bean and spices complement the peachy melon characters. It’s a gentle wine that builds relentlessly through the palate to a sustained finish. The mouthfeel is exquisite with fine acid and fine-grained oak sitting perfectly. A super wine. $40. Drink: 2024 - 2032"- Ray Jordan, Winepilot.com.
