✨ Technical Specifications
The Hill Sauvignon Blanc by Scotchmans Hill represents an approachable, vibrant expression of this classic varietal, crafted to highlight fresh, lively fruit characteristics. While Scotchmans Hill is famous for its estate-grown Bellarine Peninsula wines, The Hill range allows the winemaking team to showcase a brighter, more immediate style. Utilizing cool-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the winemakers preserve the grape's natural aromatic intensity, resulting in a clean, crisp wine defined by zesty citrus, green apple, and subtle herbaceous notes. This style captures the essence of modern Australian Sauvignon Blanc, focusing on purity, brightness, and refreshing drinkability.

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.
