Scorpo Estate Chardonnay 2018

This is the Estate Chardonnay that sets the bar for the range, a true standout. Sourced from a 1-hectare, three-clone block in the heart of Mornington Peninsula, this wine offers a pristine, juicy experience. Think bright, pear-driven fruit with a fennel twist and a refreshing crunch of acidity. The balance between barley-accented fruit and wheaty tones brings both complexity and elegance, while the 20% new oak adds just the right amount of depth. Minimal winemaking intervention lets the wine evolve naturally, allowing it to express its true character. Aged in French oak barrels (no batonnage or stirring), this Chardonnay is poised for future enjoyment, with its youthful vibrancy only just beginning to spread its wings. A wine to savour now or cellar for the next few years.
