24.01.2022 Posted @withregram @cellarhandwine Just when you think you've Eocene it all... Paul @scorpowines is renowned for paving an impeccable pathway to the delights of Mornington Peninsula #Chardonnay and #Pinot Noir with his well established #Aubaine & #Noirien wines. Likewise, his estate renditions of these two varieties grown on his #Merricks North vineyard have long belonged to the top-flight of the region's single-vineyard wines. Less well known are the pinnacle wines of the ...estate, made only in exceptional years and from the best parcels. The name comes from Paul's red-brown, clay-rich soils, which are derived from tertiary #Eocene volcanics dating back some 40 million years. The 2010 #Eocene Chardonnay was the debut, with this wine made again in '13, '15 and '19. A first Pinot appeared in 2017, from Paul's high-density #Abel clone plot ("the word 'stunning' comes straight to mind," was how Campbell Mattinson began his review). This exercise was repeated in '18, while newly released from '19 is another Pinot Noir, this time from Paul's original #MV6 plantings dating back to 1997. Those who like to swim in the deep-end of Australian Chardonnay & Pinot Noir should glide in this direction. #scorpowines #scorpo #merricksnorth #pinotnoir #morningtonpeninsula #aussiewine #instawine #winelover #cellarhandwine See more

05.01.2022 Posted @withregram @cellarhandwine Jim & Paul. The Estate & #Eocene @scorpowines doing the rounds today, with legends like @barkleyjohnson on the itinerary. These wines are grown on Paul’s ‘97-planted home block in Merricks North, with the 2019 #Eocene Chardonnay a selection of the best parcels in a top year. There are two Pinots bearing the Eocene label: one all MV6 from the original vineyard, the other all high-density #Abel vines planted more recently. All of these wines are excellent. Eocene refers to the ancient volcanic soils, but fair to say it’s become synonymous with an X-factor (length, spice, drive, minerality) in Paul’s pinnacle bottlings. #scorpowines #scorpo #morningtonpeninsula #pinotnoir #coolclimate #instawine #winelover #winewednesday #barkleyjohnson #hospolife #melbournedrinks
05.01.2022 Pete finishing pruning in the Old Cherry Orchard 10K Pinot Noir vineyard, burning the cuttings as he goes. Ash drops out of the bottom as he moves along the row. #pinotnoir #morningtonpeninsulawineries #morningtonpeninsula #victoria #pruning #australianwine @ Scorpo Wines

03.01.2022 Scorpo Aubaine Chardonnay 2018 Drinking beautifully, only 16 Dozen left! More info visit www.scorpowines.com . .... The Wine Front Rated : 93 Points Tasted : Aug20 Alcohol : 13.5% Price : $32 Closure : Screwcap Drink : 2020 - 2022+ Posted on 05 August 2020. ...’Aubaine sounds kind of like a portmanteau of Aubert de Villaine. Well, that’s what I most often think. Maybe it is? The year has delivered a slightly richer style, and under the light struck match there’s a pear and almond creaminess, along with fine controlling acidity, some chalky texture, and a subtle (pleasant) lime zest bitterness on a pretty long finish. It feels warm and cool at once, if that makes any sense. This is very good drinking as at now.’ #chardonnay #australianwine #morningtonpeninsula #christmaswine #winelover #victoria #morningtonpeninsulawine @winefront.com.au
