✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Scotchmans Hill Riesling is a pristine expression of cool-climate viticulture from the wind-swept Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria. The region's maritime climate, moderated by the chilly waters of Bass Strait and Port Phillip Bay, slows the ripening process, allowing the Riesling grapes to develop intense aromatic profiles while retaining a vibrant, laser-like natural acidity. Grown on ancient black volcanic soils overlaying limestone and clay, this wine beautifully reflects its unique terroir through a distinct mineral drive. Historically, the Bellarine Peninsula has a rich viticultural heritage dating back to the mid-19th century, which was revived in the late 20th century by pioneering estates. The winemaking philosophy for this Riesling emphasizes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to preserve the pure, expressive fruit characters of fresh lime, citrus blossom, and wet stone.
🍾 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.
