The Hill Pinot Gris by Scotchmans Hill is crafted as an approachable, vibrant introduction to the estate's winemaking philosophy, sourcing fruit from select premium vineyards in South Australia. This wine is designed to showcase the bright, aromatic potential of the Pinot Gris grape. Winemaker Robin Brockett employs protective handling and cool fermentation in stainless steel to preserve the intense primary fruit characters of ripe pear, red apple, and delicate floral notes. The result is a fresh, clean, and textured palate with a crisp finish, embodying a contemporary Australian style that balances fruit sweetness with refreshing acidity.
