Winemaker:Scorpo Estate
Scorpo’s Eocene Pinot Noir is a barrel selection from the original, 1997 plantings on the Scorpo Family vineyard in Merricks North on the Mornington Peninsula. The combination of the plot`s iron rich, volcanic, Eocene soils and the low yielding MV6 Pinot Noir clone (which originates from the Clos de Vougeot in Burgundy) give a wine of structural strength and subtle power. Pale ruby colour, attractive raspberry and mulberry aromas lead to a full bodied, creamily textured palate. The layers of this wine unfurl in the glass to reveal an intense, complex, minerally fresh wine with a long-lingering, finely tannic finish (for drinking 2022-2025+).

Scorpo Estate
We were delighted to introduce the wines of Scorpo Estate to the UK market in late 2020. Based in Australia`s cool, maritime climate of Mornington Peninsula, Scorpo produce elegant, high quality wines that reflect their home region with a discreet nod to Burgundy. Paul and Caroline Scorpo planted their first vines in 1997. The 17 hectare estate works under the principle that quality wines are made from sustainably farmed, low-yielding, hand-picked vines. Meticulous work in the winery ensures quality is not only maintained but enhanced at the winemaking stage. “This is one of the finest domaines in the unique, boutique wine region, Mornington Peninsula, which has become world-famous thanks to its ultra-fine Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. An expert in these two Burgundian varieties, Scorpo wines are sensual, balanced, graceful and detailed.” - Matthew Jukes, wine writer and creator of the annual 100 Best Australian Wines Report.
