Scorpo Pinot Gris 2005
A rich, unctuous and oily pinot gris whose dusty, musky perfume of pear and floral, violet-like aromas reveals creamy, funky undertones. Rich and spirity, it’s long, concentrated and assertive, with some fine chalky phenolic lending support. Its vibrant, juicy fruit culminates in a savoury finish of refreshing acidity. Quite big, but should flesh out.

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.
