Soumah Pinot Noir D'Soumah / 2024 / 750mL

Pinot Noir is a very selective grape. It does not like the heat but does like the sun. It likes to be on well drained soils so not good on flat landscapes. It likes warm days but more important, cold summer nights. It is so demanding that only a few Australian regions can aspire to produce a Pinot Noir of any pedigree. The Yarra Valley has attained that status over the decades and we have set out to support that reputation with our attention to detail and first-rate vineyard sites.

We are tending three clones of Pinot Noir. The traditional MV6 clone giving minerality and a tight fruit profile, while the D4V2 adds good structure and elegance. The 777 then brings a dollop of well rounded, juicy raspberry and cherry flavours with a bright dose of fine acid. One of the latest vintages in recent memory has created a long, lean wine which is full of savoury fruit complexity.
