While Scotchmans Hill is celebrated for its cool-climate estate on the Bellarine Peninsula, the Henry Frost range allows the winemaking team to explore premier regions of South Australia. Named in honor of local pioneering heritage, this range focuses on delivering expressive, fruit-driven wines with structural integrity. The Henry Frost Sangiovese is a contemporary Australian expression of Italy's famous Tuscan grape. Sourced from select South Australian vineyards where warm days and cool nights allow the variety to thrive, the wine is crafted using traditional fermentation techniques to retain its bright cherry fruit, savory dried herb complexity, and characteristic dusty, food-friendly tannins.
