Scorpo Chardonnay
Mornington Peninsula
Price Range at Release: $50-$99
Vintage: 2022
Alc %: 13.0
$ Rel: 58
Very stylish, focused and elegant, this pristine and deeply flavoured young chardonnay reveals a complex fragrance of grapefruit, white peach and nectarine backed by creamy, nutty suggestions of yeast plus suggestions of coriander and oyster shell. Its expressive fruit soaks up its tight-grained vanilla oak as it moves gently and deftly down a chalky spine towards a long, briny finish of mouthwatering acidity. A fine wine from a spectacular vintage.

Winery

Somewhat under the radar, Scorpo has one of the Mornington Peninsula's finest vineyards which regularly produces stylish and restrained expressions of finely textured pinot noir, chardonnay, pinot gris and shiraz. The coming into production of the company's close-planted vineyard has given Paul Scorpo's team more options to work with, and has opened the door to some stellar wines under the Eocene Chardonnay and Pinot Noir labels. Completing this stellar range are some terrific wines from pinot gris/grigio and shiraz. Despite some upwards movement in recent years, the wines remain under-priced and to my mind represent exceptional value.
