✨ Technical Specifications
The Jack & Jill range by Scotchmans Hill is crafted to offer a contemporary, vibrant, and highly approachable expression of Victoria's cool-climate viticulture. Named playfully to reflect a friendly, down-to-earth style, this Sauvignon Blanc captures the bright, breezy maritime influence of the region. Unlike the estate's more structured, mineral-driven single-vineyard releases, the Jack & Jill Sauvignon Blanc focuses on immediate charm and pristine fruit purity. It is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its lively aromatic profile, which typically highlights zesty citrus, passionfruit, and fresh herbaceous notes, making it a delightful reflection of modern Australian winemaking.
🍾 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.
