Holm Oak Chardonnay 2023

The fruit for this fine Tasmanian Chardonnay was sourced from two discrete blocks (three different clones) and gently pressed, before racking to French oak barrels, 30% new and the remainder from one to four years in age. A full natural fermentation with half the wine then going through malo. Nine months maturation. The colour here is a lovely gleaming pale gold. The nose gives us aromas of stonefruit, especially peaches, spices and a hint of limes with a gentle and well-integrated note of oak. The structure provides elegance, yet underlying richness, and decent length with underlying bright acidity. A youthful style, linear and lingering. Enjoy for the next four to eight years.
