2018 Scorpo Estate Pinot Noir, Mornington Peninsula

We are proud to be pioneers in shipping this top quality, expressive Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir to the UK. This 2018 Scorpo Estate comes from 2 plots within the Family Vineyard: The Original Planting (planted in 1997) and The Old Cherry Orchard (2013), both on old, Eocene, volcanic soil. It spent 12 months in a mixture of 20% new and 80% 1-3 year old French barriques, which has contributed a beauty and intensity of texture as well as complexity of flavour. Bright, pale ruby colour, the nose is open and concentrated, full of spicy red cherry and floral raspberry aromatics. Palate is full bodied and juicy, with a well-marked frame, rich, vivacious mid-palate fruitiness and a silky, lifted finish. This is an elegant, beautifully harmonious new world Pinot, which we recommend most highly (for drinking 2020-2023+).
