✨ Technical Specifications
The Swan Bay range by Scotchmans Hill is named after the tranquil, picturesque marine reserve that borders the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria. Crafted to showcase a vibrant, contemporary expression of cool-climate Victorian viticulture, the Swan Bay Pinot Grigio is defined by its bright, crisp, and highly approachable character. Sourced from premium vineyards across Victoria, the grapes benefit from cool maritime influences that preserve their natural acidity and delicate aromatics. To retain its pristine fruit profile, the wine undergoes cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, avoiding oak contact. The result is a beautifully balanced, refreshing white wine that captures the lively spirit of its coastal origins, offering classic notes of fresh pear, green apple, and subtle citrus.

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.
