GREAT WINE IS MADE IN THE VINEYARD

It is known that ‘great wine is made in the vineyard’ and we set out to select an exact location that delivered every advantage of a cool climate, undulating topography and ancient soils. So we found our hidden gem, located down a county lane in the dress circle Warramate foothills of the Yarra Valley. It is from here we set out to make wine with the charm of Northern Italy but the provenance of the majestic Yarra Valley.

Discover Soumah Wines

The Yarra Valley cool climate focus allows SOUMAH to specialise in wine styles and varieties typical to northern Italy as well as south eastern France. Our Hexham vineyard on the Warramate Foothills is the mainstay of production, although we do look for small parcels of premium fruit from other vineyards to bring additional Single Vineyard wines to the market. Our most awarded wines are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with recent recognition for our Viognier and Syrah as well as a passion for northern Italian varieties of Nebbiolo, Brachetto, Pinot Grigio and Savarro (Savagnin).

 

SOUMAH is proudly a 5-Star Winery according to Halliday Wine Companion.

When in Rhône! Masterclass

Rather than focus solely on one grape variety, this Masterclass highlights the prominent red and white varieties from one wine-growing region, the northern Rhône, France; Syrah and Viognier. Our discussion will compare two cool climates: northern Rhône with harsh winters and warm summers and the other (much younger) cool climate region of south-east Australia, the Yarra Valley. Discover the similarities and contrasts between locations, vineyards and vintages.

 

Tasting will consist of nine samples of Syrah and Viognier, some from Soumah and some exclusively sourced for this Masterclass, accompanied by small bites, specially matched and prepared by Chef Paul.

 

When: Session 1 at 3pm on Saturday 25 May, or Session 2 at 3pm on Sunday 26 May

IN THE MEDIA

  • 2016 Single Vineyard Chardonnay: Attractively savoury aroma, melon and straw, dusty oak, toast and honey nuances. Then the palate offers rich fruit, soft texture, with generosity and balance. 93 points.

    GT WIne

  • It’s an austere style. Minimalist. It’s highly enclosed and reductive with pure grapefruit, steel and subtle lactose/woodsmoke characters showing the barest of glimpses. It’s white wine as origami, its arms and legs folded in on themselves. It’s either too clever by halves or highly sophisticated, you have to sit with it and decide for yourself. I’m sitting on the fence a little.

    Campbell Mattinson

  • SOUMAH 2016 Single Vineyard Chardonnay: Light and delicate, pure and refreshing, this Yarra Valley Chardonnay feels racy and brisk. It is a cool glass of grapefruit-like zestiness with a kiss of nougat oak. Perfect to accompany seafood dishes, Asian spice and good times.

    Delicious Magazine

  • Trattoria d’ SOUMAH which serves rustic Italian food in a relaxed atmosphere. Overlooking the vineyards, the covered outdoor deck is the perfect spot to perch for a long lazy lunch.
