✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Named after the pristine marine reserve that borders the Bellarine Peninsula, the Swan Bay Sauvignon Blanc by Scotchmans Hill captures the breezy, maritime essence of coastal Victoria. This wine is crafted to showcase a vibrant, approachable style of cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes benefit from the moderating ocean influences, which slow ripening and allow for the development of intense aromatic profiles while retaining a crisp, natural acidity. In the cellar, the winemaking team focuses on preserving this bright fruit character through cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks, avoiding oak contact to let the pure expressions of citrus, passionfruit, and fresh-cut grass shine through. It represents a lively, refreshing tribute to the coastal ecology of the region.
🍾 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.
