Soumah of the Yarra Valley 'Hexham' Chardonnay 2023

The fruit was handpicked, whole bunch pressed and then barrel fermented with 100% wild yeast. The wine was then matured on lees in these barriques and puncheons for eight months with partial malolactic fermentation to create depth and finesse.

A finely-grained, complex nose of preserved lemons, struck match and fennel. The palate is rich with toasted hazelnuts, further fennel over comice pear skin with a fine salinity. Poised, fine and delicious.
