Holm Oak Shiraz 2023

The cooler year here added to the elegance and spiciness found in this wine. 10% whole bunches were incorporated into the fermentation. Maturation was in a mix of 20% new, with the remainder seasoned, oak for a period of ten months. Blood red/maroon, this is an exciting Tasmanian Shiraz. The nose has hints of animal skins, soy, aniseed, black fruits, cranberries, coffee grinds, leather and spices. A most attractive package. There is a subtle texture here, in this wine of medium length with fine tannins. It will drink attractively over the next decade.
