Description

The 2021 Scorpo Old Vine Shiraz is a cool-climate Mornington Peninsula red from the Scorpo family’s Merricks North vineyard. The nose shows blackberry, dark cherry and plum with black pepper, violet, spice and savoury notes, reflecting Scorpo’s Rhône-inspired approach to Shiraz.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fresh acidity, concentrated dark fruit and fine, structured tannins. Scorpo’s Shiraz is wild fermented in open vats following a cold soak, with extended skin contact before maturation in French oak. The result is a layered, peppery style with savoury complexity and a persistent finish.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Shiraz drinkers who enjoy elegant, cool-climate reds with pepper, spice and restrained fruit weight. Pair with roast lamb, grilled beef, duck, mushroom dishes or aged cheeses, with good potential for further bottle development.

About the region

Victoria · Mornington Peninsula

Victoria has more wineries than any other Australian state and the widest spread of climates. Around Melbourne, the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Geelong and Macedon Ranges are cool enough for restrained Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Inland, Heathcote and the Grampians make dense Shiraz, Beechworth works granite hillsides, and the King Valley has adopted Italian varieties. In the north-east, Rutherglen still makes fortified Muscat and Topaque in a style found nowhere else.
