TASTING NOTES FOR Holm Oak Riesling Tamar Valley Tasmania 2025

🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with bright green tinges, crystal clear and vibrant in the glass—classic cool-climate Riesling clarity.

👃 Aromas
Lifted and fragrant, showing lime leaf, jasmine and citrus blossom with hints of green apple and subtle spiced apple complexity.

👅 Palate
Light-bodied, precise and intensely fresh. Zesty lemon and lime drive the palate, supported by crisp green apple and a fine line of mineral acidity. Pure fruit expression with excellent focus and balance.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Fine, flinty acidity gives the wine energy and length. The finish is clean, dry and refreshing, with lingering citrus and a delicate mineral edge.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic Tasmanian Riesling—elegant, aromatic and mineral-driven. Fresh, vibrant and beautifully structured for early enjoyment or short-term cellaring.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with freshly shucked oysters, prawns, grilled fish, or light Asian dishes. The citrus acidity works like a squeeze of lemon over seafood.

🍷 BBD Verdict
This is exactly what you want from premium cool-climate Riesling—bright, clean and seriously drinkable. A standout choice for mixed dozens where freshness and precision matter, and a brilliant everyday white with real class.
