Soumah Single Vineyard Hexham Viognier 2024 (1x75cl)

Estate
Soumah, Yarra Valley. James Halliday Five Star (top 10%).

Region
The Yarra Valley's cool conditions hold Viognier's acidity — the variety loses balance easily in warmer places.

Variety & Style
Viognier's signature is intense apricot, peach and white-flower aroma over a dry palate. A single-vineyard bottling concentrates that character. Medium to full bodied with an oily texture.

What to Expect
"Smells sweet, tastes dry" — that gap is the variety, not a problem with the wine. The aromatics are assertive, which makes this a wine for food or small pours rather than an evening on its own.

Serving
11–12°C. Thai, Indian, roast chicken, almond-based starters.
