Floral, honey, pear, apple. Juicy green apple and grapefruit kicks some zip into the palate, weighty yet fresh, texture is all chalky, the finish clean and long with a ginger and more savoury aftertaste. Such balance. Full-flavour delivered assuredly.
94 points. Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

The fruit is grown on the Scorpo family vineyard. Scorpo Pinot Gris is 100% whole bunch-pressed, with the most of the must going straight into old barriques with 100% solids for natural-yeast fermentation. A portion was fermented in concrete tank. The wine is left on lees for approximately 11 months. Suitable for vegans. Lightly yellow copper in colour.

Apple, apricot and pear notes combine with musk complexity. More of the same on the palate with the texture that Paul Scorpo’s Estate Gris is renowned for. An excellent example of Peninsula Pinot Gris – silky, focused, unctuous.

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.
