Place: Red Hill South — Mornington Peninsula, VIC

Variety: Pinot Noir

Farming: Sustainable

Scorpo is a Mornington Peninsula stalwart. All wines are made from estate fruit and have a distinct joy about them—or perhaps that’s just how you’re made to feel when drinking them. Paul Scorpo is a softly spoken yet evidently proud proprietor who, alongside his wife Caroline and their team, is championing his peninsula postcode with aplomb.

This is an elegant, pure and long pinot noir. The quality is immediately evident and it only reveals more with time.
