✨ Technical Specifications
The Jack & Jill range by Scotchmans Hill is named with a playful nod to the rolling hills of the Bellarine Peninsula. This Vintage Brut is crafted using traditional cool-climate varieties, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, sourced from select Victorian vineyards. It undergoes secondary fermentation to develop its signature creamy texture and fine bead, balancing fresh citrus and green apple notes with a delicate yeast autolysis character. It represents a lively, approachable expression of Victorian sparkling wine, capturing the maritime freshness of the region.
