Scorpo Chardonnay 2021
$55.00
Superbly shaped and harmonious, with an alluring bouquet of white and yellow flowers, melon, grapefruit and lemon backed by creamy vanilla oak and nuances of smoke and mineral. A deft choice and application of smoky vanilla oak knits tightly with a core of grapefruit, lime and lemon flavour, moving with crunch and focus before finishing long, slightly pithy and wrapped in racy acids. More proof that it’s obvious that like the best chardonnay made everywhere else, the best from Australia is based around fruit and ripeness.

Winery
Scorpo
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.
