Holm Oak Riesling

Holm Oak Riesling 2025 from Tasmania’s Tamar Valley is a fine, flinty cool‑climate Riesling – floral, citrus‑charged and shimmering with minerality, offering a fuller‑bodied feel thanks to the warm, dry vintage. Holm Oak Riesling 2025 is a vibrant, precise white that really leans into Tasmanian purity.

It opens with pretty white flowers and citrus blossom, then ramps into limes, green apples, lemon sherbet and a whisper of guava and candied pear over crushed stone and ozone notes. On the palate you get generous lemon, lime, orange peel, lemonade, pear and grapefruit pith, all bound by mouth‑watering acidity and a silky‑to‑velvety texture that delivers a long, cleansing, apple‑sours‑tinged finish; residual sugar sits around 2.5 g/L, keeping things essentially dry but nicely cushioned.

This is tailor‑made for kingfish sashimi, Thai green papaya salad, spicy Asian dishes, oysters, goat’s curd crostini and fresh cheeses, where its citrus drive and slatey minerality can slice through salt, fat and chilli. Holm Oak Riesling 2025 already carries strong critical praise around the low‑90s and is expected to age gracefully, adding complexity over the next decade if you can resist drinking it now.
