2020 Soumah Winery D'Soumah Chardonnay - SWA GOLD 0.75 Ltr. White
picture of

Beautiful shiny, light, yellow color. This fresh, young and complex Chardonnay offers aromas of peach, melon and stone fruit accompanied by a delicate touch of butter and vanilla. The taste immediately reveals its mineral, lively and refreshing character. Pleasant and easy drinking. The finish is long and balanced. A wonderful introduction to what Yarra has to offer in terms of quality Chardonnay.

Its clean and crispy style goes well with fried white fish, seafood, chicken, salads and pasta vongole.

climate

Due to its southern location close to the ocean and close to the mountains, Yarra Valley has a cool climate that lies between Bordeaux and Burgundy in temperature. Winters can be cold and most precipitation falls in winter and spring. Summers are moderately warm and dry with cool nights. It makes Yarra Valley Australia's most distinctly cool-climate appellation.

soil

Poor sandy soils with loam and clay that are on average at a height of 120m which protects them from winter frost. The slopes provide good drainage and guarantee a perfect absorption of the sun's heat. A blend of different vineyards in Yarra.

vinification

Minimal intervention in the vineyard. The chardonnay is picked as early as possible to obtain as much fresh citrus fruit as possible and to guarantee a lively acidity. The fermentation takes place mainly in wooden barrels for 8 months to obtain more structure and depth. The wine is then bottled.
