Soumah, Viognier, Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia, 2018

Gorgeously creamy textured Viognier from a Decanter Platinum award-winning producer (for its Hexham Vineyard Equilibrio Chardonnay 2018). Strikingly expressive given the modest level of alcohol, with a lovely fresh acidity still present three years after harvest. Almost Chardonnay-like, but with an exotic twist. Made with yeast and a smidgen of new oak.
