✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Old Dairy range by Scotchmans Hill pays homage to the estate's rich agricultural heritage on the Bellarine Peninsula, taking its name from the historic 19th-century dairy building that still stands on the property today. While the estate is widely celebrated for its cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this Cabernet Sauvignon represents an approachable, fruit-forward expression of the variety sourced from select vineyards in Victoria. It captures the classic structural elements of Cabernet—dark blackcurrant fruit, subtle herbaceous undertones, and fine-grained tannins—while maintaining a soft, early-drinking appeal shaped by Victoria's diverse maritime and continental influences.
🍾 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.
