About this Wine

In the Yarra Valley, Chardonnay can be made in a completely unique way. Soumah himself calls it “New Age Chardonnay” because the classic, grand fatness and fullness that Australian Chardonnays are usually known for is hard to find here. Instead, there is a lightness, a minerality and a freshness that expresses itself in a modern and innovative way – because that is how we have never experienced Australian Chardonnay expressing itself.

The Hexham vineyard has a perfect, cool climate and works with 3 different Chardonnay clones (95, 76 and Mendosa), which have been developed specifically to bring out the elegance and lightness of the Chardonnay grape. The wine is aged in oak barrels, but only 20% new wood is used to truly preserve the delicate fruit that the Chardonnay grape provides and to ensure a clear and unspoiled terroir imprint.

Look forward to a fresh and sparkling Chardonnay that we ourselves, until now, thought could only be produced in Europe. It is crystal clear and mouthwatering, and it may only be a matter of time before Chardonnay fans open their eyes to Soumah's genius.

Yarra Valley Wine

The Yarra Valley wine region is the most important area of wine production in Victoria today, and with its proximity to Melbourne, also the most visited in the state.

Yarra Valley is split into the Upper Yarra and the valley floor. The Upper Yarra is cooler in climate due to its elevation and coupled with younger, fertile, red soils produces most of the region’s notable varietals: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The valley floor is warmer and has predominantly grey soils with pockets of granite and limestone.

Pinot noir has long been considered a notoriously difficult variety to grow. However, the cool climate and longer growing seasons of the Yarra Valley allow the fruit to develop full flavoured and ripe character.

Chardonnay in the past has long been associated with a deep oily, buttery style that experiences full malolactic fermentation and great amounts of oak. This style has since fallen out of favour and wine makers in the Yarra Valley have capitalized on this trend to produce leaner, acid driven Chardonnays that are closer in style to those from Burgundy.
