2025 Holm Oak Chardonnay

Rich and creamy textured with mid weight and a long, well rounded finish.

Barrel fermented with 20% new oak. Brilliant pale straw colour with green highlighted edges and a watery hue. Elevated white peach, pear and dried honey scents are trailed by some citrusy nougat, subtle crème brulee and spice notes. Rich, creamy textured flavours of peach, pear and dried honey unfold across the mid weighted palate. Notions of crème brulee, nougat and spice also chime in. Finishes long, fleshy and well rounded.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews…..
Light straw with characters of lemon, peach and nectarine, hints of meadow flowers, crème fraîche, citrus zest, shortbread, spiced oatmeal, sea spray and crushed stone. There's a swell of biscuity oak on the palate that meshes nicely with the peach and citrus fruits, an appealing tension and clarity to the interplay between fruit and acidity and a finish that flares and lingers nicely. Drink by 2031.
