2020 Holm Oak Arneis, Tamar Valley, $28
Holm Oak boasts Tasmania’s only arneis, planted in 2007 after a long search for an “alternative variety” to grow on the estate. Originally hailing from Piedmont in Italy, the wine exhibits lean, riesling-like mineral characters, while fermentation in ceramic eggs and older barrels adds texture. holmoakvineyards.com.au

2020 Chatto ‘Marion’s’ Pinot Noir, Tamar Valley, $65
This wine is made with grapes from vineyards planted in West Tamar in 1979 and the second incarnation of Jim Chatto’s Tamar project wines. Chatto says: “Marion’s wine has darker fruit expressions and is a muscular, more brooding” style of pinot. The perfect choice for those who prefer a more structured, full-bodied style of wine. chattowines.com
