Soumah of Yarra Valley, beautifully situated in the premium dress-circle of Victoria's iconic winemaking country, stands as a premier institution dedicated to crafting world-class cool-climate wine portfolios. The legendary house focuses heavily on translating distinct site provenance directly into the glass, utilizing specialized northern Italian and traditional French varietals to forge an un-compromised identity. By prioritizing low-intervention processing methods, gravity cellaring, and single-vineyard micro-vinification, the modern winemaking team consistently pushes the parameters of quality. Highly celebrated by global wine show panels and independent sommelier circles alike, Soumah remains a top-flight titan of premium Australian viticulture.

Equilibrio Pinot Noir is a strictly limited annual selection made with the specific aim of capturing the very best Pinot Noir of the vintage — for 2021, that meant the MV6 clone with small additions of D4V12 and 777, all from Soumah's own Hexham Vineyard, wild-fermented and matured in French oak (around 20% new) for a full year. The 2021 growing season was defined by a long, cool ripening period across the Yarra Valley, giving the fruit exceptional aromatic detail and natural acidity, and the result was scored an outstanding 96 points by Philip Rich in the Halliday Wine Companion 2024, alongside a Silver Medal at the 2022 ANZ Boutique Wine Show. Equilibrio Pinot Noir has genuine pedigree across vintages too — the 2017 release scored a perfect-adjacent 97 points from James Halliday and won Platinum at the Decanter World Wine Awards, showing this isn't a one-off high score but a consistently exceptional wine. It's a serious choice for Pinot Noir collectors and anyone wanting a genuine special-occasion bottle, built to reward drinking over the next five or more years.
