Holm Oak Riesling 2025

The vineyard at the team’s estate in the Tamar Valley, which was used to provide the fruit for this Riesling, has three clones in it, although no one knows exactly what they are. The 2025 vintage was warm and dry, providing a fuller and slightly richer style. A very pale lemon hue, the nose gives us notes of oyster shells, spices and grapefruit. All things are relative, and while there is a degree of richness to this, it is still a minerally and slightly leaner style. Exactly what you would expect from this style of vintage in Tasmania. There is good focus and the wine lifts on the palate. Tightly wound, it has serious length and we can anticipate an exciting future. The palate sees the emergence of some very attractive lemon curd notes. Should drink beautifully for ten to twelve years.
