✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hill Cabernet Shiraz represents an approachable, vibrant expression of classic Australian winemaking, crafted under the expertise of the historic Scotchmans Hill estate. While Scotchmans Hill is celebrated for its cool-climate maritime wines from the Bellarine Peninsula, 'The Hill' range allows the winemakers to source premium fruit from South Australia to create generous, fruit-driven styles. This wine pays homage to the 'Great Australian Blend'—a historic marriage of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz pioneered in Australia during the 19th century. By blending the structural elegance, leafy complexity, and fine-grained tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon with the rich, plush dark fruit and spice of Shiraz, this wine achieves a harmonious balance of power and accessibility, showcasing the best of South Australia's sun-drenched vineyards.
🍾 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.
