✨ Technical Specifications
The Swan Bay range by Scotchmans Hill is named after the pristine marine reserve that borders the Bellarine Peninsula, reflecting the coastal influence and cool-climate vitality of the region. This Prosecco is crafted from Glera grapes sourced from select Victorian vineyards, capturing a lively and approachable sparkling style. Produced using the Charmat method (secondary fermentation in pressurized tanks), it is designed to preserve the intense primary fruit aromas of crisp green apple, pear, and citrus blossom, backed by a refreshing, clean acidity that mirrors the cool ocean breezes of its coastal home.
