James Halliday – Don’t be fooled by the fine acidity, the length of this wine and its precision. It has plenty of punch with quality fruit, spicy oak and lovely nutty, leesy flavours. It’s just that everything is packaged up so well and the result? Harmony. Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

Scorpo Eocene Chardonnay 2021
A blend of clones 95, I10 and P58, from mature vines on the north/north-east facing slope
of the original vineyard planted on the Scorpo property in Merricks North.
The 2021 Eocene was hand-picked on March 4, 2021, and processed the following day.
The grapes were pressed as whole bunches and went straight to barrel (20% new oak). It
underwent natural fermentation with no malolatic fermentation or lees stirring. There was
a yield of 4.5 tonnes. Filtered, not fined.
A classic vintage. Lovely pale straw colour showing delicate lifted florals highlighted by an
inkling of citrus blossom. A hint of fennel spice adds complexity. Some pure lemon juice/rind characters are supported by creamy, leesy, almond meal elements on the palate. Very balanced with a mouthwatering refreshing finish. – Paul Scorpo

Mornington Peninsula Wines
South of Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula grape growing region has a cool, maritime climate that is most known for their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay production. Other varieties that have seen some success here include Pinot Gris and Tempranillo.
However, it does seem that Pinot Noir is their focus judging from the fact that The Mornington Peninsula International Pinot Noir Celebration is held once every two years. The event displays the region’s capabilities in making some of Australia’s finest Pinot Noir in front of local and international audiences.
