Typical bright crimson colour and a fragrant aroma of red berries and dark spices speak clearly of the Mornington Peninsula. Lifted fruit characters on the palate that suggest raspberry, sour plum and cloves lead through to a softening mid-palate with great texture. The length once again provides evidence of the origin with lingering elements of darker red fruits. Light on its feet the 2020 shows a perfumed nose with hints of freshly cut sage.

Good healthy fruit was harvested from a single vineyard on the Hastings Tuerong border. Rain during flowering resulted in a harvest of extremely low yields giving the fruit extra concentration and tannin. Grapes were de-stemmed and tipped into open fermenters. The must was pumped over daily during primary fermentation leading to a light and bright palate of fresh berries.

After two weeks, the wines were pressed off their skins, into one tank to finish the fermentation and go completely dry. This was followed by natural malolactic conversion and then a small sulphur addition before going to oak. Eight months following harvest the wine was bottled after a light filtration and final small sulphur addition.

About Save Our Souls

Many years ago, we met in the vine rows of world-renowned Pinot Noir producer; Bass Phillip. Spending time amongst the grapes we learned that we held common ideals for quality wine, hard work and a good laugh. Over lunches and wine tasting a bond grew and in 2008 Save Our Souls was born.

Our first release was at the time a ground-breaking savoury and crisp Rosé for those long hot Australian summers, still the OG. Over the next 10 years or so our little family has grown and expanded to include a savoury and textured Chardonnay, an affordable Pinot Noir that well tastes like Pinot Noir, an easy drinking Sangiovese which tastes great with or without food, a lively and juicy Sagrantino for a bit of fun. You can find plenty more of the family over on the Our Wines page of the website.

We don’t want accolades or shining medals, we just wanted to make delicious wines that punch above their weight, are inclusive and most importantly are sociable; to be shared with friends at a favourite bar top, to have at home with hump day dinner, take with confidence to a dinner party or in the park with the gang on a sunny Sunday – wines for every day in every way.

We are extremely lucky and blessed to work with wonderful grape growers from all over Victoria who share our passion for interesting wines that speak of the place they come from. Whether it be from way down south in Mornington Peninsula, through to the Yarra Valley and all the way up to the famous Heathcote region. We make wine with as little added as possible except for good honest grapes.

We will continue to be adventurous, to keep evolving and most of all have a bit of fun –

SOS; not trying to change the world, just a couple of souls, one glass at a time.
