Soumah d'Soumah Pinot Noir

Soumah is one of those hidden gem wineries within Australia. 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. Whilst they grow Italian varieties such as Barbera and Nebbiolo, making wines like a frizzante from the Brachetto grape, they also produce more classic styles.

Situated an average of 120 metres above sea level, the vineyard is elevated above the valley floor, and the ancient sandy-clay loams with broken sandstone shape the small yields and define the detail in these precise, focussed expressions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Made with fruit sourced from their own vineyards, supplemented with those from other premium sites in the Valley, Soumah produce wines of distinct character and finesse, something that this part of Australia has become famous for.

This is pure Pinot Noir. It has a gorgeous garnet colour and delivers a cherry and raspberry fruit profile along with savoury fleshiness. Barrel fermentation has developed rich aromas and flavours in the wine, and with a good portion of this being new, it is soft with noticeable oak.
