Soumah
One of the real movers and shakers of the industry in recent times, Soumah is without a doubt one to keep a very close eye on. Produced from small single vineyard plantings in the Warramate foothills, outstanding fruit quality works hand in hand with barrel derived complexities. Soumah’s iconic “duck egg blue” label has become synonymous with Yarra Valley quality. They produce small amounts of high-quality Yarra staple varieties including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah but one of their more interesting preoccupations is with the much talked about Savagnin grape. As they continue to push the envelope of their winemaking capabilities and drill down into the nuance to be found in clonal selection, they are steadily raising their standing amongst the best producers in the Region. As their wine flight expands, they intend to focus on styles from Northern Italy including Pinot Grigio, Ai Fiori (Rosata), Brachetto and Nebbiolo as well as the Eastern French varieties of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Shiraz and Viognier. We see a bright future here.
