✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted by the pioneering cool-climate specialists at Scotchmans Hill, 'The Hill' Chardonnay represents an approachable, vibrant expression of Australian Chardonnay. While the estate is legendary for its maritime-influenced Bellarine Peninsula vineyards, 'The Hill' range draws on carefully selected fruit, including premium parcels from South Australia, to create a wine defined by its bright, fruit-forward character and immediate charm. Winemakers focus on preserving the natural energy of the grape, utilizing gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation to highlight luscious stone fruit, citrus, and subtle melon notes, backed by a soft, clean finish. This range serves as a welcoming introduction to the estate's historic dedication to quality, offering a beautifully balanced, everyday style that captures the sunny warmth of South Australian 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.
