Crafted by the esteemed pioneering team at Scotchmans Hill, 'The Hill' Cabernet Sauvignon represents a thoughtful regional exploration. While the estate is famous for its cool-climate maritime vineyards on Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula, they look to the warmer, sun-drenched terroirs of South Australia to source the premium fruit required for this classic Cabernet. This approach allows winemakers to capture the rich, bold, and structured character of South Australian Cabernet Sauvignon—marked by dark plum, cassis, and subtle mint notes—while applying their signature cool-climate sensibilities to maintain balance, elegance, and fine-grained tannin structure during maturation in French oak.
