The Old Dairy range by Scotchmans Hill pays homage to the rustic heritage of the estate's historic farming roots on the Bellarine Peninsula, where a functional dairy once stood before the land was dedicated to premium viticulture. Crafted to showcase a bright, accessible, and fruit-forward style, this Pinot Grigio is sourced from cool-climate vineyards in Victoria. To preserve its vibrant aromatics and crisp acidity, the fruit is gently pressed and fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, avoiding any oak contact. The result is a clean, refreshing white wine that captures the lively, mineral-edged character of the region.
