✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
