5 Star Winery

Excellent colour; the bouquet is fragrant and flowery, with red fruits - cherry and strawberry - to the fore, the elegant and pure flavours of the palate a logical extension of the bouquet. Great value, drink now or later. - James Halliday

Holm Oak Vineyards was established in 1983, and takes its name from the Holm Oak trees planted on the property.

The vineyard is leased by Rebecca and her husband Tim Duffy. Rebecca is a qualified winemaker with 10 years of winemaking experience including vintages in McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, Napa Valley and Western Australia. Tim is an agronomist with extensive viticultural experience.

Holm Oak is one of the few smaller family owned wineries who grow, make and bottle their own wines on site. This allows for greater individuality of the wines as they have full control of their wines from the vineyard through to the bottle. The individual attention that they are able to devote to each parcel of fruit ensures that each wine has its own unique personality.

This fresh, lively and aromatic Pinot shows lovely lifted strawberry, floral and spice characters on the nose. These aromatics carry through to the palate which has fine, soft tannins and juicy aciditiy. This is a gorgeously light Tasmanian Pinot Noir which is perfect drinking at any time.
