Description

Vintage after vintage, Holm Oak produces some of the best value for money Pinot Noirs in Australia. You simply cannot help but admire how much flavour and vivacity it packs in such a delicate number. It has moxie. It's the Little Engine That Could.

So, so pale in the glass. There is something about it which is just immediately enticing. Maybe it's the fragrance coming from the wine, maybe it's the knowledge that this is only the tip of the iceberg.

But the second you taste it you're utterly whisked away. It's very much a dancer, with delicate flavours of berries, spice and herbs flitting hither and thither. You can't help but smile.

"The colour is a light crimson pink, but don’t let that fool you. This is a Pinot of great poise and structure with deep and layered intensity. The aromas are all about dark cherry with a little spicy raspberry lift. The palate is soft, sublimely supple and gradually opens to reveal a complex maze of strawberry, truffle and spice. And on top of that, you won’t find many better Pinots for this price. A cracker."

2024 was a relatively warm year, characterised by higher humidity levels and warmer than average nights. This led to our Pinot being well balanced with lovely aromatics, bright fruit and fine tannin structure. This is a generous wine. Ruby red in colour with prominent aromas of dark cherry, red berries and a hint of sweet spice. Soft and inviting from the first sip, then opening to a peacock’s tail of red stone fruit, strawberries and fresh mushrooms on a textured framework of satin tannins, restrained toasted oak and light savoury notes. This is balanced with lingering acidity, resulting in a satisfying, long finish.

Winemaking notes
A long cool growing season resulted in fruit with beautiful acid and tannins structure and perfumed aromatics. Several clones of Pinot Noir from many blocks on our Estate vineyard were picked over a two-week period. All batches were destemmed and were wild fermented in small open top fermenters. Ferments were hand plunged up to 4 times a day and then pressed to oak upon dryness. The wine underwent MLF in barrel and was then racked back to barrel for further maturation. 25% new French oak was used (the remainder 1 – 4 year old barrels) and the wine was matured in these barrels for 10 months.
