The Jack & Jill range by Scotchmans Hill is a playful, contemporary expression of Victoria's cool-climate viticulture, crafted to be vibrant, approachable, and immediately enjoyable. Sourced from premium vineyards across Victoria, this Pinot Gris benefits from cool maritime breezes that slow ripening and lock in natural acidity. The winemaking philosophy emphasizes fresh fruit purity, utilizing temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation to preserve delicate aromatics of pear and stone fruit, complemented by a short period of lees contact to introduce a subtle, textured mouthfeel. It represents a modern, lively style of Australian Pinot Gris that bridges the gap between casual enjoyment and cool-climate elegance.
