Soumah Skye Blox Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2014

The entry point Chardonnay in the Soumah range.

Green straw coloured; the white peach and nectarine nose suggests largely old oak, save for a little yeasty creamy edges. A pineapple ripe fruit character here distracts, a nod to a ripe vintage, the finish slightly sweet and sour. Nice gentle fruit though, and certainly that nectarine juiciness and soft finish have appeal.

Not bad. Slightly rough around the edges, but offers character at least. Drink: 2015-2018. 16.5/20, 88/100

Details: 13%, Screwcap, $21, Sample
Would I buy it? No.

Wine

About me – Andrew Graham

At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, doing a degree that I didn't really like, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.

Almost twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.

While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
