Soumah Premium Wine Experience
Our premium wine experience will feature a selection of wines from the following range:
Museum wines
We keep a small museum wine selection from each vintage, storing these in in the best conditions to ensure they age gracefully fully developing their individual brilliance. From time to time we might choose one of these beautifully aged wines (minimum five years old) as part of our Premium Wine Experience line up.
Equilibrio Range
The concept behind our Equilibrio range is to promote the very best barrels, clonal mix and new oak integration to create a few cases that will benchmark each vintage potential. Some would call it Reserve but we call it Equilibrio as, at the end of the day, it is all about harmony and balance. We have a Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah in our Equilibrio range.
Nebbiolo
Although our Nebbiolo is on a north-west slope it still ripens last in our vineyard as we wait for the characteristic high acid levels to slowly drop. The fruit is then hand-picked, fermented in tank and then left on skins for an extended maceration to soften the red wine. It is then racked to only large format seasoned barrels (minimum 500l) where it will then slowly mature for at least 18 months.
Italian Imports
At Soumah we import some unique Northern Italian wines and market these to high quality bottle stores and Italian restaurants in Melbourne. From time to time we might also display one of these wines on our line up. These wines include Barolo (Nebbiolo), Nascetta (ancient white variety from Piedmont) and Marzemino, Teroldego and Lagrein which are all reds emanated from Trentino.
