Arneis is a variety that is enjoying rising popularity in both Australia and its home in Piedmont in Northern Italy, but this is the only one I know of in Tasmania. A light, bright wine with delicate floral, fresh pear and nutty marzipan aromas and flavours beautifully balanced around a fresh , minerally acid core, the finish mouthwateringly crisp, dry and deliciously more-ish. 5 bottles (Fabulous)

Ambonnay meets Tasmania! It’s a tightrope act to showcase the body and intensity of Australian pinot noir in sparkling rosé, while maintaining unerring finesse. Holm oak has pulled it off with particular refinement, showcasing the linear backbone of Tasmanian acidity, with all of the complexity that comes with barrel-fermented pinot: Christmas spice, fruit mince pie, poached cherries and citrus rind.

Floral and musk aromatics carrying to a smooth, creamy and complex palate lush with flavours of ripe melon, spiced pear, subtle oak and earthy wild-ferment characters with lovely fresh acidity providing cut and balance and a lively, tangy edge to the finish. Lovely drinking.
