✨ Technical Specifications
The Jack & Jill range by Scotchmans Hill represents a contemporary, vibrant take on classic Victorian Shiraz. Named with a playful nod to the approachable and friendly nature of the wine, it is crafted to showcase bright fruit purity and immediate appeal. Sourced from premium vineyards across Victoria, including the cool-climate maritime sites of the Bellarine Peninsula, this Shiraz benefits from the region's ancient volcanic soils and cooling ocean breezes. Unlike the more structured, cellar-worthy estate wines, Jack & Jill is fermented and aged with subtle oak influence to preserve its juicy dark berry flavors, soft tannins, and cracked black pepper spice. It captures the spirit of modern Australian winemaking—unpretentious, expressive, and deeply tied to the coastal landscape.
🍾 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.
