✨ Technical Specifications
The Jack & Jill range by Scotchmans Hill offers a playful, contemporary expression of Victoria's cool-climate viticulture, named in a lighthearted nod to the rolling hills of the Bellarine Peninsula. Crafted to be vibrant, fresh, and immediately approachable, this Pinot Noir Rosé is made from carefully selected Pinot Noir grapes. The fruit is gently pressed to achieve a delicate pale salmon color, followed by cool fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its bright, aromatic profile. It beautifully reflects the maritime influence of the region, delivering a lively bouquet of fresh strawberries, rose petals, and a crisp, clean finish shaped by the cooling southern ocean breezes.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1982 by David and Vivienne Browne on an erstwhile dairy farm, Scotchmans Hill stands as the pioneer and quintessential benchmark estate of Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula within the Geelong wine region. Perched atop the peninsula's extinct volcanic outcrop, the vineyards benefit from fertile black basaltic clays over limestone subsoils, complemented by maritime microclimates moderated by Port Phillip Bay and the Southern Ocean. Under the stewardship of long-tenured Chief Winemaker Robin Brockett, who joined the fold in 1988, the estate champions low-intervention viticulture certified under Sustainable Winegrowing Australia. Brockett's cellar philosophy prioritizes site-driven purity, native fermentations, sensitive French oak integration, and extended lees maturation. Scotchmans Hill produces distinguished cold-climate expressions, most notably its flagship Estate and Cornelius Chardonnay, tactile Pinot Gris, and estate Sauvignon Blanc, alongside celebrated regional ventures like the Henry Frost Riesling and approachable Jack & Jill tiers.
