Scorpo has for some time sat comfortably within the highest rank of Australian cool-climate winegrowers, quietly composing excellent wines and steadily raising the bar year upon year. The vines are planted at an altitude of between 70 and 100m on a north- to northeast-facing slope with a 10% gradient. It’s a brilliant suntrap with ideal drainage to slowly grow and ripen grapes. They are wines which - without ever raising their voice - resonate equally with the mind and senses.
"It’s in classic Scorpo Chardonnay style, which means richness and power, with a firm cut of ripe grapefruity acidity, albeit with no noticeable struck match. Nectarine, honey, a little biscuit spice, mint and assorted citrus. with a sort of salted butter and nutty/miso umami savouriness, plenty of gloss, some flintiness to texture, oatmeal and spice on a finish of excellent length. A bold style, though with no shortage of energy." 94pts | Gary Walsh | WineFront
