Soumah Single Vineyard Nebbiolo

Soumah Single Vineyard Nebbiolo 2022 is a compelling Yarra Valley red from Soumah’s Hexham Vineyard, bringing Barolo-like perfume, firm structure and a distinctly Australian sense of ripeness to one of Italy’s most captivating varieties.

The Soumah Hexham Vineyard Nebbiolo 2022 opens with rose petal, violet and sour cherry, followed by dried strawberry, blood orange, liquorice, truffle and earthy ironstone. Extended skin contact builds aromatic intensity and serious tannin, while savoury herbs, balsamic and cedar unfold through a long, dry palate with bright, driving acidity.

Decant this Yarra Valley Nebbiolo for slow-braised beef, herb-roasted lamb, wild mushroom risotto or rich duck ragù. It shines with aged parmesan, truffle, prosciutto and porcini. A complex, cellar-worthy Australian Nebbiolo, it will reward patience, although a generous hour in a decanter brings its floral perfume and layered savoury detail straight into focus.
