The Estate Chardonnay has a very unique personality. Coloured pale gold with green tinges, with aromas of white peach and pink grapefruit, it has a distinctive background mineral note. The palate is fresh and textured, rich and plush, without being overblown. The delicate fruit flavours are perfectly poised with crisp acidity. The finish is powerful: long, savoury and mineral.
Previous Accolades:
"95 Points. Bright straw-green; like Aubaine, this is a very tightly structured wine not giving much away on the bouquet; indeed, you have to wait until the finish, and a 30-second aftertaste to find out what the wine is about, with lovely nectarine and grapefruit flavours and embedded oak." - James Halliday, Wine Companion.
"Scorpo has clearly got it going on. The current release pinot gris is terrific and this chardonnay is tops too. There’s a bit of sulphur funk but it’s essentially a tight, briney, shelly chardonnay of excellent concentration and length. Impressive to say the least." - Campbell Mattinson, Winefront
