Scorpo Eocene Original Vineyard Pinot Noir is 100% MV6 Pinot Noir from our original (1997) plantings. The fruit was picked on 27th March 2020 at 12.7 Baumé. The fruit was given a seven-day cold soak before spontaneous fermentation in a concrete vat with 10% of whole clusters included. The wine spent 28 days on skins in total. It was matured in oak (20% new, the rest three- to five-year-old barrels) until bottling with no fining or filtration on 19th February 2021.

This wine is focused and precise. The nose opens up with a mix of fresh raspberries as well as raspberry coulis. There is depth to the nose that then presents fresh herbs and spices such as cardamom and nutmeg. The palate showcases great balance and poise with raspberry, blood orange and cranberries on display. The fine emery tannins sit comfortably alongside a firm acid backbone. – Paul Scorpo

Description

Scorpo Wines are distinctive, in that the wines are made to express the flavours of the new world, in the style of the old world. They reflect their location and the unique characteristics of the soil and climate they are grown in.

We chose Mornington Peninsula for the unique climatic conditions of the area, which are ideal for growing high quality cool climate varietals, especially Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.. The vineyard is operated under the principle that quality wines are made from low-yielding, hand-picked crops. And that the vineyard determines the ultimate quality of the wine. We farm sustainably.

All grapes are handpicked and wild yeast fermented in concrete fermenters, old and new oak barrels and Stainless steel fermenters. Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Bestia, our amber wine, are open-vat fermented. Chardonnay and Pinot Gris are fermented in old and new barrels, with batches of Pinot Gris, sometimes Concrete fermented. Each varietal clone is vinified individually to ensure that terroir differences are highlighted.
