The dedicated growers on Scotchman's Hill are heirs to a tradition of producing the finest white wine grapes. They attend to the Bellarine peninsula's premier terroirs, nurturing vines to sprout much of Victoria's most articulate fruit. The team have assembled harvests of the most amenable Sauvignon Blanc, to be vinified into a refreshing post modern style, brimming with citrus, bright herbaceousness and a touch of quenching minerality. An integrated and easy to appreciate, classic dry white, that's just excellent with pasta or Al fresco cuisine. Swan Bay is a real place, located on the Bellarine Peninsula, originally surveyed by Commander Matthew Flinders in 1803. Scotchman's Hill specialize in the pursuit of the best cool climate fruit, grown to vines lashed by the sobering maritime winds of Port Phillip Bay, to be vinified at their renowned wineworks. Swan Bay is an fully approachable style that's generously flavoured, to be enjoyed in it's youth. Harvests of Sauvignon Blanc, grown to good vineyards around the finer viticultural precincts of Geelong, are cool fermented to preserve freshness and vital crisp varietal expressions, bottled to be vigorously fruit driven, completely unwooded and unoaked.
TASTING NOTESStraw green hues. Fragrant and complex, aromas of gooseberry, herbaceousness and tropical fruit. Crisp and dry, balanced by firm acidity, south sea guava flavours dominate the mid palate richness, supported by gooseberry, grassy notes and a touch of honey, mineral background gives the wine an overall balance and freshness. A lovely crisp and clean fruit driven wine, designed to be enjoyed chilled while vital and young. |
