Established 1982, Scotchmans Hill host a tally of the most superior blocks of vine on the Bellarine. A splendid single vineyard Pinot Noir, only ever made in extremely limited quantities, grapes are all hand picked and painstakingly destemmed into small three tonnes fermenters for several days of cold soak, as the wild indigenous yeasts begin to weave their magic. Batches are hand plunged over the course of a fortnight, followed by a gentle press into a high proportion of new Troncais French oak barriques for sixteen months maturation.
