✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Old Dairy range by Scotchmans Hill pays homage to the estate's agricultural history, named after the rustic old dairy building that remains a landmark on their Bellarine Peninsula property. While the estate is renowned for its maritime cool-climate classics, this Sangiovese represents an adventurous exploration of Italian varietals adapted to Victorian soils. Crafted to emphasize a bright, savory fruit profile rather than heavy oak, the wine undergoes traditional fermentation followed by aging in seasoned oak casks. This preserves the grape's signature high acidity, dusty tannins, and vibrant red-fruit character, resulting in an approachable yet classic expression of the variety.
🍾 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.
