The Swan Bay Rosé from Scotchmans Hill is a vibrant tribute to the pristine marine reserve of Swan Bay, located on the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria. This cool-climate rosé is crafted to capture the fresh, breezy essence of its maritime home. Influenced by the moderating ocean currents of Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait, the vineyards benefit from slow ripening, which preserves the delicate aromatics and bright acidity of the grapes. Typically produced using estate-grown Pinot Noir, the wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to maintain its crisp, fruit-forward character. It offers an elegant profile of fresh red berries, subtle spice, and a clean, refreshing finish, embodying the relaxed yet sophisticated coastal lifestyle of the region.
