✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Mount Bellarine Pinot Gris is a beautiful expression of the cool-climate maritime terroir of Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula. Sourced from vineyards nestled in the region's rich, black volcanic soils, this wine benefits from the moderating influence of Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait. The cool ocean breezes slow down the ripening process, allowing the Pinot Gris grapes to develop intense, concentrated flavors while retaining a crisp, natural acidity. In the cellar, winemakers employ gentle pressing and cool temperature-controlled fermentation, often incorporating brief lees contact to build a textured, luscious mouthfeel that balances the wine's vibrant orchard fruit and subtle spice notes. This wine captures the pioneering spirit of the region, offering a sophisticated and refreshing cool-climate white.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Scotchmans Hill blev grundlagt i 1982 af David og Catherine Browne og er en pioner på den kystnære Bellarine Peninsula i Victorias anerkendte Geelong-vinregion. Vingården råder over en rig, vulkansk basaltjordbund og nyder godt af et tørt, køligt mikroklima, der tempereres af de maritime briser fra Port Phillip Bay og Bass Strait. Under ledelse af den mangeårige chefvinmager Robin Brockett arbejder huset med minimal intervention og præcisionsdyrkning for at udtrykke det autentiske terroir. Scotchmans Hill er særligt berømt for sine elegante Pinot Noir-vine, komplekse Chardonnay, køligt prægede Shiraz samt den eksklusive Cornelius-enkeltmarksserie.
