✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Mount Bellarine Shiraz is a compelling expression of cool-climate viticulture, shaped by the unique maritime terroir of the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria. Grown on ancient, self-draining black volcanic soils over limestone, the vines are constantly cooled by moderating ocean breezes from Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait. This temperate environment slows ripening, allowing the Shiraz grapes to develop intense, complex flavor profiles while retaining a vibrant natural acidity. Crafted using traditional winemaking techniques, including fermentation in open-top vessels and maturation in select French oak hogsheads, this wine reflects a style reminiscent of the Northern Rhône—elegant, savory, and deeply aromatic, far removed from the heavier, jammy profiles of Australia's warmer inland wine regions. It stands as a testament to the region's rich geological history and its suitability for producing world-class, structured cool-climate reds.
🍾 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.
