✨ Technical Specifications
The Henry Frost Cabernet Sauvignon is a compelling release from the renowned Scotchmans Hill group, representing a stylistic venture from their cool-climate Bellarine Peninsula home into the warmer, sun-drenched terroirs of South Australia. Named in tribute to historical pioneering figures of the region, this wine is crafted to showcase the bold, generous, and structurally defined character that has made South Australian Cabernet Sauvignon world-famous. By sourcing premium fruit from select South Australian vineyards, the winemakers combine traditional fermentation techniques with balanced oak maturation to deliver a wine rich in dark berry fruit, subtle mint, and structured, approachable tannins.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1982 by David and Catherine Browne, Scotchmans Hill is a pioneering producer on the maritime Bellarine Peninsula within Victoria's acclaimed Geelong wine region. Planted on rich, volcanic basalt soils and moderated by maritime breezes from Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait, the estate benefits from a dry, cool maritime microclimate. Guided by long-tenured chief winemaker Robin Brockett, the winery focuses on minimal intervention and precision viticulture to reflect authentic regional terroir. Scotchmans Hill is renowned for its estate-grown, elegant Pinot Noir, complex Chardonnay, cool-climate Shiraz, and its prestige Cornelius single-vineyard collection.
