The 2025 Scorpo Aubaine Chardonnay is a vibrant Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay that delivers the freshness and balance the region is known for. Sourced from estate-grown fruit in Merricks, it opens with aromas of white peach, juicy pear and Granny Smith apple, complemented by hints of citrus, florals and subtle spice. Crafted as Scorpo's approachable introduction to the range, it still retains the precision and vineyard character that have made the winery a standout producer on the Peninsula.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright natural acidity and a smooth, textural mouthfeel. Flavours of lemon, grapefruit and crisp orchard fruits are layered with subtle melon notes and gentle oak influence, creating a wine that is both fresh and expressive. A fine chalky texture carries through the finish, providing structure and length while maintaining excellent balance.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Chardonnay for those who enjoy fresh, modern cool-climate styles with plenty of flavour and drinkability. Enjoy now for its youthful vibrancy or over the next 3–5 years as additional texture develops. Pair with grilled prawns, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, fresh seafood or soft-ripened cheeses.
