An excellent palate, with primary fruits of tangy lemon and kaffir lime, backed up by secondary flavours of fresh pastry. Tightly wound acidity with remarkable freshness.
Soumah Equilibrio Pinot Noir
The concept behind the Soumah Equilibrio range is to promote the very best barrels, clonal mix and new oak integration to create a few cases that will benchmark each vintage potential. Some would call it Reserve but Soumah call it Equilibrio as it is all about harmony and balance. The Equilibrio Pinot Noir displays strawberry and cherry fruit flavours fused with gamey, mushroom and herbal tones. A good spicy lift at the back of the palate leads to length and persistence on the finish. The wine is a perfect balance of Fruit, Oak, Acid and Tannin, hence Equilibrio.
