✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Henry Frost Riesling is a compelling release from the esteemed Scotchmans Hill, showcasing their talent for sourcing exceptional fruit beyond their estate on the Bellarine Peninsula. For this expression, they venture to the premier Riesling regions of South Australia, particularly the Clare Valley, celebrated for its slate-rich soils and cool night breezes that lock in vibrant acidity. Named in honor of early pioneering figures of the region, this wine is crafted using protective, cool fermentation techniques in stainless steel to preserve the pristine, aromatic purity of the grape. The result is a classic dry Australian Riesling, defined by its striking mineral drive, intense citrus core, and elegant structure.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Scotchmans Hill blev grundlagt i 1982 af David og Catherine Browne og er en pioner på den kystnære Bellarine Peninsula i Victorias anerkendte Geelong-vinregion. Vingården råder over en rig, vulkansk basaltjordbund og nyder godt af et tørt, køligt mikroklima, der tempereres af de maritime briser fra Port Phillip Bay og Bass Strait. Under ledelse af den mangeårige chefvinmager Robin Brockett arbejder huset med minimal intervention og præcisionsdyrkning for at udtrykke det autentiske terroir. Scotchmans Hill er særligt berømt for sine elegante Pinot Noir-vine, komplekse Chardonnay, køligt prægede Shiraz samt den eksklusive Cornelius-enkeltmarksserie.
