About this Wine

100% MV6 Pinot Noir from Paul Scorpo’s original (1997) plantings. The 2021 Eocene MV6 clone Pinot Noir was hand-picked on March 20, 2021 and prosessed the following day. It
was left on skin for 23 days and cold soaked for 4 days. 15% whole bunch, and fermented in concrete with wild yeast. There’s 25% new oak, and it did not undergo any filtration. It was bottled Feb 2, 2022.

A striking wine that reflects power and grace. The nose sings with raspberries, red currents, plums, cranberries, as these fruits sit above a generous presence of toast and graphite, then all this balanced out with a gentle touch of roses and jasmine. The palate is plush, exhibiting intense fresh raspberries, cherries and boysenberries whilst again combining muscle and grace. Abundant velvet tannins, connected by a farm acid line and supreme length drive this wine home with every detail is in its right place. – 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.

Critic reviews

James Halliday – At first, it comes across as powerful with some meaty reduction, a little charry and tannins holding sway. Then it shifts, unfurls and becomes far more revealing. Theres gloss and smoothness across the palate with black cherries, savoury spices and herbs and a smidge of radicchio. Yes, it has structure but it is also seductive. 96 points. Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion Jul 2023
