Grown across two great Central Otago subregions - Lowburn and Bendigo.
Our Bendigo vineyard is located high on the Bendigo Terraces, north facing, steep slopes give an incredible aspect. The Lowburn Vineyard, we have worked with for the last 3 years, 30 year old vines on a beautiful, cool site.
The fruit packed lots of flavour and was well poised, with great acidity. The wine was pressed to barrel where it fermented naturally and underwent partial malolactic fermentation.
The result - our Chardonnay has a beautiful white stone fruit nose and a hint of struck match. The palate is textural, layered and perfectly balanced. The acid, fruit and oak used in this wine sit well together. Great for drinking now through the next five years
ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
I have been working in wine around the world for the past 13 years, travelling to all corners to learn, understand and appreciate great wine. We have worked alongside many great winemakers who have influenced our ideas on style and taste. After many years of dreaming, considering and throwing ideas out there, Scout Wines was officially launched in 2017.
Scout the name takes inspiration from Jean Louis ‘Scout’ Finch, the narrator and protagonist of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. Scout is both a questioner and an observer, something we believe important at Scout Wines. Throughout our winemaking careers we have questioned all aspects of grape growing and winemaking, challenging ideas and practices, but also observing how wines are crafted and perfected.
Scout Wines is about putting these observations and ideas into practice.
