The 2024 Holyman Pinot Noir is a refined Tasmanian Pinot Noir sourced from the Tamar Valley, a region celebrated for producing elegant and age-worthy expressions of the variety. Crafted from low-yielding vineyard sites, it opens with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, complemented by notes of rose petal, baking spice and subtle forest floor complexity. The cool Tasmanian climate delivers purity of fruit and aromatic precision, giving the wine a distinctly regional character.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and a finely textured structure. Flavours of red cherry, cranberry and wild berry fruit are layered with gentle spice and savoury undertones, creating a wine that balances freshness with depth. Careful oak maturation adds subtle complexity without dominating the fruit, leading to a long, elegant finish marked by bright red fruit and delicate earthy notes.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Pinot Noir for those who appreciate finely crafted cool-climate wines with purity, balance and finesse. Enjoy now for its youthful vibrancy or cellar over the next 6–10 years as additional savoury complexity develops. Pair with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, game bird dishes or soft-ripened cheeses.
