Description

Vintage after vintage, Holm Oak produces some of the best value for money Pinot Noirs in Australia. You simply cannot help but admire how much flavour and vivacity it packs in such a delicate number. It has moxie. It's the Little Engine That Could.

So, so pale in the glass. There is something about it which is just immediately enticing. Maybe it's the fragrance coming from the wine, maybe it's the knowledge that this is only the tip of the iceberg.

But the second you taste it you're utterly whisked away. It's very much a dancer, with delicate flavours of berries, spice and herbs flitting hither and thither. You can't help but smile.

"It was a pretty mild year in Tassie, contributing to a wine that is refined and so supremely elegant but with textured complexity setting it apart. The fruit was destemmed and wild fermented in open fermenters before racking to barrel for maturation in 25% new French oak and a mix of older oak for 10 months. There is a bright vibrant fruit character balanced with a dry chalky mouthfeel with primary notes of cherry and strawberry, dusted with a faint hint of Tamar earth."
- Ray Jordan (Wine Pilot)

The epitome of cool-climate Tasmanian pinot noir. Sourced from our estate fruit, it's well balanced with beautiful spice, strawberry and cherry characters on the nose. The palate has fantastic fruit intensity, vibrant acidity and fine silky tannins. Just delicious!

Holm Oak

Led by the husband and wife team of Rebecca Wilson and Tim Duffy (winemaker and viticulturist respectively), Holm Oak's hand-crafted, minimally intervened with, single vineyard wines are gaining plenty of attention.

Bec and Tim have followed their cool-climate Tasmanian wine dream since 2006, based in the beautiful Tamar Valley, north of Launceston.

Their wines are among the most approachable and affordable in the whole of the Apple Isle.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
