Description
"Scorpo Estate Chardonnay is a blend from our two vineyards in Merricks North. 35% of the fruit is 76 clone from Stanleys Road Vineyard (picked 28th February at 12.7 Baumé), supplemented by 20% 95 clone (picked on 1st March at 12.8 Baumé). The balance (45%) of the blend comes from the Scorpo family vineyard and is a mix of I10, 95 and P58.
This wine presents as primarily fresh yet with a savoury crust that adds intrigue and layers. A medley of fruits on the nose such as fresh lemon, lemon curd, cucumber and honeydew are complimented with nougat and lemongrass. The palate is equally complex with fresh lemon and grapefruit driving the palate, complemented by elements of fresh garden salad. The texture is pithy, viscous and layered, with a subtle crunch which completes this polished and balanced wine." – Paul Scorpo Wine Maker
