Soumah of the Yarra Valley is a producer of fine wines from the region. A hidden gem located down a country lane, in the dress circle of the cool Warramate foothills of Gruyere. Soumah set out to make wine with the charm of northern Italy but the provenance of the Yarra Valley. Situated an average of 120 metres above sea level, the vineyard is elevated above the valley floor. The ancient sandy-clay loams with broken sandstone shape the small yield and define the detail in these precise, focused expressions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
The fruit for “Hexham” Chardonnay was handpicked, whole bunch pressed and then barrel fermented with 100% wild yeast. The wine was then matured on lees in these Barriques and Puncheons for eight months with partial malolactic fermentation to create depth and finesse.
Soumah of the Yarra Valley “Hexham” Chardonnay wine has a finely-grained, complex nose of preserved lemons, struck match and fennel. The palate is rich with toasted hazelnuts, further fennel over comice pear skin with a fine salinity. Poised, fine and delicious. with roast monkfish, sea-bream, French onion soup or spatchcock chicken.
