Under the \u003cem data-start=\"527\" data-end=\"536\"\u003eHolyman\u003c\/em\u003e label — the premium range — the wines express greater depth, structure, and purity.

The Chardonnay vines are planted on well-drained clay and gravel loams, contributing to the wine’s linear structure and mineral edge. Low yields, selective hand-harvesting, and minimal intervention help preserve the site’s natural electricity and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1236\" data-end=\"1587\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1236\" data-end=\"1247\"\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1247\" data-end=\"1250\"\u003e2024 was a standout cool-climate vintage in Tasmania. A mild spring, steady summer conditions, and a long, dry autumn allowed Chardonnay to ripen perfectly while retaining exceptional acidity. The fruit achieved a rare balance of concentration and freshness, resulting in wines with fine structure, purity, and extended ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1589\" data-end=\"1948\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1589\" data-end=\"1603\"\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1603\" data-end=\"1606\"\u003eGrapes were whole-bunch pressed and fermented with wild yeasts in French oak barriques, including a restrained proportion of new oak. Extended lees contact adds texture and complexity without compromising the wine’s brightness. The Holymans’ approach is deliberately minimalist, aiming to capture vineyard expression with clarity and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1950\" data-end=\"2456\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1950\" data-end=\"1967\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1967\" data-end=\"1970\"\u003eThe 2024 \u003cem data-start=\"1979\" data-end=\"1999\"\u003eHolyman Chardonnay\u003c\/em\u003e opens with pristine aromas of white peach, lemon zest, nectarine, flint, hazelnut, and delicate spice. The palate is tight, pure, and mineral-driven, offering citrus and stone fruit supported by a fine line of acidity and subtle oak integration. Tension, grip, and saline length define the finish. This is a focused, elegant, and beautifully composed Tasmanian Chardonnay — energetic in youth, with the structure to develop complexity over the next decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2458\" data-end=\"2480\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2458\" data-end=\"2478\"\u003eCritics’ Acclaim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2483\" data-end=\"2539\"\u003eLauded for precision, purity, and cool-climate tension\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2542\" data-end=\"2597\"\u003eConsidered one of the benchmark Tasmanian Chardonnays\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2600\" data-end=\"2665\"\u003ePraised annually for its balance between richness and restraint\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2667\" data-end=\"2694\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2667\" data-end=\"2692\"\u003eTechnical Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2697\" data-end=\"2729\"\u003eRegion: Tamar Valley, Tasmania\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2732\" data-end=\"2765\"\u003eProducer: Stoney Rise (Holyman)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2768\" data-end=\"2783\"\u003eAlcohol: ~13%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2786\" data-end=\"2798\"\u003eStyle: Dry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2801\" data-end=\"2845\"\u003eOak: French oak barriques, limited new oak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2848\" data-end=\"2877\"\u003eDrinking Window: 2025–2034+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2879\" data-end=\"3162\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2879\" data-end=\"2900\"\u003eA Collectible Gem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2900\" data-end=\"2903\"\u003eThe 2024 Stoney Rise Holyman Chardonnay is a brilliant expression of Tasmanian terroir — pure, mineral, finely etched, and beautifully balanced.
