Scorpo Aubaine Chardonnay 2023
$38.00Jeremy’s score 95/100Again, tasting another Aubaine, I’m left with the impression that Scorpo’s ‘entry level’ chardonnay surpassses most of the region’s more prestigious and ambitiously priced labels. Intense aromas of ruby grapefruit, lemon and yellow peach with chalky, briny mineral undertones reveal creamy, meaty nuances and a whiff of coriander. It’s medium to fullish in weight, with true length and a mineral crunch, unfolding a core of citrus and stonefruit before finishing with smoky, spicy and mineral notes and a refreshingly brittle acidity. Outstanding value.

Scorpo Bestia Pinot Grigio 2021
$45.00Jeremy’s score 95/100It’s a skin-contacted grigio, so there’s plenty of orange and pink in its colour, but don’t be concerned! Its heady, potpourri-like bouquet of raspberries, cherries and dried herbs reveal citrus-like undertones and a note of musk stick. Long and luscious, with a juicy core of vivacious red and orange fruit underpinned by a fine chalkiness, it extends long, dry and refreshing towards a savoury finish of pleasingly vital acidity. Treat it as a rose – and a very very good one!

Scorpo Chardonnay 2021
$55.00Jeremy’s score 94/100Superbly 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.

Scorpo Chardonnay 2022
$58.00Jeremy’s score 95/100Very 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.

Scorpo Eocene Chardonnay 2021
$80.00Jeremy’s score 96/100Slightly leaner than previous releases under this label, here’s a wine that will flesh out over time. Its creamy, buttery fragrance of white and yellow flowers and yellow peach reveals notes of melon and grapefruit, a hint of nougat and a faint meatiness. Initially round and luscious, its persistent core of vivacious stonefruit and citrus flavour moves is layered fashion towards a savoury, mineral and faintly saline finish. Try to give it three years at least…

Scorpo Eocene Pinot Noir 2018

Scorpo Eocene Pinot Noir 2019
Jeremy’s score 91/100Firm and drying, with a sumptuous core of black and red cherries and berries, it delivers a moderate but not great length of flavour. It’s floral and perfumed, with spicy rosewater scents and dusty herbal notes, but its oak is just marginally too awkward and its tannins too drying for an even higher rating.
