About Soumah Hexam Chardonnay 2025
Soumah's Hexam Chardonnay from the cool-climate Yarra Valley expresses a refined and site-specific character. On the nose, it opens with bright white peach and nectarine, layered with Meyer lemon zest and a delicate waft of toasted brioche from careful oak integration. A subtle floral lift of white blossom adds elegance. On the palate, the wine is taut and focused, with vibrant acidity framing flavours of poached pear, grapefruit curd, and roasted cashew. The texture is creamy yet precise, with fine-grained oak providing structure without dominating the fruit. The finish is long, mineral-driven, and saline, with lingering citrus and a chalky persistence that speaks clearly of its Yarra Valley origins.
