Holm Oak Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

(0)

$40.00

Holm Oak's Tamar Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine of classic structure and cool climate elegance. Blackcurrant and cassis on the nose, with a velvety mouthfeel and hints of chocolate, leather, and tobacco from French oak maturation. Drinking wonderfully now, but built to develop gracefully over the next 6–10 years. A Cabernet worth putting away. Pair with slow-roasted lamb, beef short rib, or aged hard cheese. Drink now through 2033.

Holm Oak

Aroma

Blackcurrant and cassis with subtle hints of chocolate, leather, and tobacco.

Palette

Velvety mouthfeel with well-integrated tannins and complex layers of dark fruit, chocolate, and savoury notes. Long, smooth, and richly textured with lingering fruit and spice.

Pairings

The structure and savoury notes call for something equally robust — think grilled or roasted red meat, aged hard cheeses, or a rich beef casserole.

Wine Making

The Holm Oak Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 was crafted from handpicked fruit, selected to achieve the perfect balance between ripe fruit flavours and the variety’s herbal notes.

The fruit was de-stemmed, crushed, and cold-soaked for 3 days to enhance extraction. Traditional Bordeaux yeast was used for fermentation, followed by gentle pressing to extract fine tannins. The wine was then aged in French oak barrels to add complexity and structure. After a light egg white fining, the wine was coarse filtered and bottled, resulting in a rich and structured Cabernet that will age beautifully over time.

Meet the owners

Holm Oak sits on land with a genuinely unusual history, first planted to Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon in 1983 by Justice Edward Butler on a Tamar Valley property once owned by an architect with a passion for native timber. Winemaker Bec Duffy and her husband Tim, a viticulturist, bought the property from Bec's parents in 2013 and have run it ever since with a hands-on, honest approach that mirrors their own personalities. Known for pushing the boundaries of Pinot Noir in particular, Holm Oak has held a James Halliday Five Star rating and remains one of the Tamar Valley's most genuine family stories.

Tamar Valley

About the region

The Tamar Valley is Tasmania's oldest wine region, stretching from Launceston to the Bass Strait in the state's north. Its cool maritime climate and iron-rich soils create ideal growing conditions, and the numbers speak for themselves, home to over 30 family-owned wineries, the Tamar Valley accounts for more than a third of Tasmania's total wine production. Viticulture here goes back a long way too, with the first commercial vineyard established in the mid-1800s at Windermere, its cuttings even helping establish some of South Australia's earliest vineyards. Today, the Tamar Valley is celebrated for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and sparkling wines, each one reflecting the region's exceptional terroir and winemaking heritage.
