Holyman Grüner Veltliner 2025

Light, bright and distinctly Tasmanian, this is a rare cool-climate expression of Grüner Veltliner. The Holyman Grüner Veltliner 2025 comes from Joe and Lou Holyman’s Stoney Rise Wine Company in Tasmania’s Tamar Valley. Grüner Veltliner represents a small and unusual part of the estate’s plantings, adding another cool-climate white variety to a range best known for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The vineyard’s position near the Tamar River provides a temperate maritime influence that helps preserve freshness and natural acidity in the fruit. At just 10.5% alcohol, the 2025 vintage sits firmly in a lighter, more delicate style. It offers a distinctly Tasmanian interpretation of this Austrian variety, with freshness and drinkability at its core. The Holymans favour wines that emphasise vineyard character, balance and food-friendly structure rather than excessive weight. In this Grüner Veltliner, the naturally modest alcohol works alongside bright acidity to create a light and energetic palate. Orchard fruit, citrus and subtle herbal characters give the wine freshness, while gentle peppery and savoury nuances provide varietal character. Its restrained body makes it particularly approachable while still retaining enough texture and detail to remain interesting at the table. The result is an uncommon and refreshing Tamar Valley white that reflects both the variety and the estate’s cool-climate setting. Tasting Notes NOSE – Fresh, delicate and aromatic Bright green apple and citrus are joined by subtle white flowers, fresh herbs and gentle peppery nuances.
