13Chardonnay, Eocene

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="17245" img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]As you’d expect for the flagship white, this is hand-picked fruit, whole-bunch pressed to French barrels, 25% new, and aged 12 months. No mlf and no lees stirring. Tight as a drum, shot with racy acidity. And no shortage of very flinty sulphides, which would be too much funky reduction, if not for the weight and richness of fruit to balance. Complex, assured, rich, textural, savoury and compelling.Jane Faulkner Published 13 August 2021Winery - Scorpo WinesWinery Region - Mornington PeninsulaVariety - ChardonnayColour - WhiteStyle - StillVintage – 2019Halliday Rating - 96/100Price when Tasted - $75.00Date when tasted - 02 February 2021Alcohol - 14 %Drink By -

19Shiraz

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="17244" img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]This is almost black, with a shot of red/purple. It's not a wallflower. There are plenty of steadfast grainy tannins reined in by a ribbon of acidity. Smells great, tastes even better: black cherries, exotic spices plus sumac, the flavours are intense and satisfying. It opens up more and more, revealing a gloss across the full-bodied palate.Jane Faulkner Published 13 August 2021Wine InformationWinery - Scorpo WinesWinery Region - Mornington PeninsulaVariety - ShirazColour - RedVintage – 2019Halliday Rating - 95/100Price when Tasted - $50.00Date when tasted - 02 February 2021Alcohol - 14 %Drink By - 2033Closure - Screw cap[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

15Aubaine, Chardonnay

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="17242" img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]While it comes packaged with a level of richness and ripe fruit, a tight line of acidity ensures everything is neatly in place. White nectarines and peaches, a dab of citrus with lots of spice plus honeycomb and cream. Savoury, moreish and super-refreshing. Good drinking now.Jane Faulkner Published 13 August 2021Winery - Scorpo WinesWinery Region - Mornington PeninsulaVariety - ChardonnayColour - WhiteStyle - StillVintage - 2019Halliday Rating - 93/100Price when Tasted - $32.00Date when tasted - 02 February 2021Alcohol - 13.5 %Drink By - 2027Closure –Screw cap[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

17Noirien Pinot Noir, Pinot Noir

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="17242" img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]10% whole bunches in the fermentation. Matured in 5% new oak barriques for 11 months. This is a really refreshing style of juicy pinot. It actually has a beaujolais nouveau feel to it: super-bright and mouth-watering. Juicy cherries, rhubarb, quite herbal yet lightly spiced with an appealing Campari and blood-orange flavour. Tannins light and in the background, acidity in charge here. Delicious.Jane Faulkner Published 13 August 2021Wine InformationWinery - Scorpo WinesWinery Region - Mornington PeninsulaVariety - Pinot NoirColour - RedVintage – 2020Halliday Rating - 93/100Price when Tasted - $32.00Date when tasted - 202 February 2021Alcohol - 12.5 %Drink By - 2027Closure - Screw cap[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
