Scotchmans Hill Shiraz 2000
Soft, elegant and very generous, this ripe, plush shiraz makes up in sheer drinkability what it might lack in structure and complexity. There’s a jammy note to its ripe, spicy and musky red cherry-plum aromas, plus a decent whiff of smoky vanilla oak. Long and smooth, with intense black and red berry flavours set against a background of pepper and spice, it’s ready to drink right now.

Winery
Scotchmans Hill
Scotchmans Hill is a well-known small winery business located near Geelong, on Melbourne's Port Phillip Bay. The extended drought last decade didn't made viticulture easy for several years, but Scotchmans Hill continues to make a complex and rustic series of wine that perhaps have more in common with Worlds Old than New. Some current releases are more edgy and rustic than ever before, and some of the whites err on the side of more funkiness than fruit. The intriguing 2010 Sutton Vineyard Chardonnay shows that the balance can be achieved.
