The 2024 Holyman Chardonnay is a finely detailed Tasmanian Chardonnay sourced from the windswept vineyards of the Tamar Valley. Produced by Holyman, a label renowned for small-batch, site-focused wines, this Chardonnay combines cool-climate precision with impressive depth. Aromas of white peach, lemon zest and grapefruit are layered with hints of struck flint, toasted almond and subtle oak spice, creating a wine that is both expressive and restrained.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully textured mouthfeel. Flavours of citrus, nectarine and green apple are supported by gentle lees complexity and carefully integrated oak, adding depth without overshadowing the fruit. The wine remains focused and mineral-driven throughout, finishing long and refined with lingering citrus freshness and saline detail.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Chardonnay for those who appreciate elegant, cool-climate styles with precision and complexity. Drinking beautifully now, it also has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 6–10 years. Pair with grilled scallops, lobster, roast chicken, fresh seafood or soft-ripened cheeses for a classic Tasmanian Chardonnay experience.
