$391.00

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

This is an elegant, refined cool climate Chardonnay. The nose displays aromas of citrus fruit, apricot kernel and white peach with spicy integrated oak, whilst the palate has lovely textural richness as a result of malolactic fermentation extended time on lees, however it finishes with fine, minerally acidity.

The fruit for this wine was picked when the flavour profile was in the citrus/nectarine spectrum. Three clones of Chardonnay from two separate blocks were used to make this wine. The fruit was gently pressed to tank and allowed to settle for 24 hours prior to being racked to barrel (30% new French oak and 70% 1-4 year old).

The wine underwent 100% natural fermentation, and 30% malolactic fermentation. The wine was then matured in oak for 9 months with occasional lees stirring to enhance texture and mouthfeel.

About Holm Oak

We are fortunate enough in Tasmania to be able to produce fruit that is packed with flavour and has wonderful natural acidity. The acidity is an important attribute in our wines as it gives lightness and balance. We try to build texture and flavour around this wonderful natural asset. We take an increasingly minimalist approach to our winemaking, converting to natural fermentation and reducing the amount of additives and finings used in our wines.

Holm Oak is a labour of love for winemaker Bec Duffy and her husband Tim Duffy, viticulturalist. Since 2013 they have followed their dream of crafting delicious expressions of cool-climate Tasmanian wines.
