Scorpo Eocene Chardonnay 2020

Passion for wine is in the Scorpo blood. It is a whole family operation stretching across generations and geography – from Sicily to Sardinia and now Australia. Today, the Scorpo family vineyard in Merricks North, on Australia’s Mornington Peninsula combines old world practices with new world flavours. Scorpo Wines combines the family heritage with expertise in growing premium grapes, meticulous attention to site selection, and a best practice approach to vineyard management and processes, trusting the old axiom that great fruit makes great wine.

This wine encapsulates finesse and precision. The nose presents lemon and lime, supported by grapefruit and nashi pears. There is also brioche, flint, and florals such as lavender. The palate has a train line structure, long and direct, with fine chalky phenolics layered either side. Lemon pith sits front and foremost on the palate while an oyster shell saltiness brings it home with a refreshingly mineral finish. – Paul Scorpo
