Soumah, Chardonnay Select Vineyard, 2023

Soumah Chardonnay Select Vineyard 2023 is a vivid, expressive white from the cool-climate Yarra Valley, crafted to show both freshness and layered complexity. With fruit drawn from Soumah’s own vineyards and select neighboring sites, it captures the elegance for which the region’s Chardonnay is known, while the use of wild yeast and oak adds depth and texture.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows bright, inviting Chardonnay character with a generous core of ripe peach, citrus, and subtle spice from oak maturation. The nose is fragrant and lifted, while the palate balances deep fruit weight with a lively streak of freshness and well-integrated toasted barrel notes. The wine feels rounded and complex, with a creamy mid-palate enhanced by lees stirring, yet it remains precise and energetic thanks to its natural acidity. It should drink beautifully now, and with its structure and balance, it has the potential to develop additional richness over the next few years.

Production
This Chardonnay comes from the cool Yarra Valley in southern Australia, where the climate helps preserve finesse, elegance, and natural acidity. The d’Soumah range blends fruit from Soumah’s own vineyards with grapes from trusted neighboring growers, creating a wine with both site expression and consistency. Fermentation with wild yeast and aging in oak barrels, combined with bâtonnage, builds texture, complexity, and a more generous mouthfeel.

Food & Serving
A natural match for grilled salmon, especially a richer cut with a little char, this Chardonnay also pairs well with roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes, and buttery sauces. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider brief decanting if you want the oak and spice notes to open up further in the glass.

Producer
Soumah is a respected Yarra Valley producer known for stylish, cool-climate wines that emphasize precision, purity, and regional character. The winery has built a strong reputation for expressive Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and its d’Soumah series highlights fruit sourced from both estate vineyards and select local partners, reinforcing its connection to the region and its wines’ sense of place.
