Heathcote – Chalmers Vineyard

This wine is fun…spicy nose of anise and dark berries.

The palate has dark plums and cherries with a juicy centre. A back palate of crushed cherries linger.

Grown by the Chalmers Family at their Colbinabbin vineyard which is North on the famous Camel Range of the Heathcote GI. The vineyard sits on a westerly slope, in the Cambrian soil. Here the approach to grape growing centres around organic practices.

Picked in early February the fruit was transported in picking bins to Yarra Valley and destemmed into and 3kl open fermenter where the must was chilled. No additions were made, and the must was left to ferment naturally. Minimally handled with only 2 pump overs, pressed off and straight into barrel to finish. After 14 months of storage in barrel the wine was bottled with a small addition of sulphur dioxide without fining or filtration.

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.
