Crafted by the pioneering Bellarine Peninsula estate Scotchmans Hill, 'The Hill' Shiraz represents an approachable, vibrant expression of classic Australian Shiraz. Established in 1982 by David and Vivienne Browne, Scotchmans Hill helped put the Geelong region on the global wine map. Under the long-standing guidance of chief winemaker Robin Brockett, 'The Hill' range was introduced to showcase a more immediate, fruit-forward style while maintaining the estate's signature dedication to balance and structure. Sourced from select vineyards to capture the generous, sun-drenched character of Australian Shiraz, this wine undergoes traditional fermentation and careful oak maturation. It weaves together the dark fruit intensity and black pepper spice characteristic of the variety, offering an approachable yet sophisticated glimpse into the winemaking pedigree of one of Victoria's most respected cool-climate estates.
