Holm Oak Chardonnay 2024

Three clones and two discrete blocks are used here. The juice underwent a wild ferment in barrel, 30% new French oak. The wine was given a further nine months maturation before bottling. A pale straw hue with light green flecks, the nose reveals notes of cashews, stone fruits, citrus, peach and orange rind. This is a wine with focus and energy, good intensity and sea breeze acidity. The oak is well integrated and carried by excellent length. With so much to enjoy, it will drink beautifully for the next half dozen years or more.
