✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1982 by David and Catherine Browne, Scotchmans Hill is a pioneering producer on the maritime Bellarine Peninsula within Victoria's acclaimed Geelong wine region. Planted on rich, volcanic basalt soils and moderated by maritime breezes from Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait, the estate benefits from a dry, cool maritime microclimate. 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.
