Scotchmans Hill
Swan Bay Bellarine Peninsula Chardonnay
Geelong, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
You can never buy just one bottle of Chardonnay right?
This Scotchman’s Hill 2015 ‘Swan Bay’ Chardonnay ($23) is the 2nd bottle of Aussie Chardonnay we bought on the weekend. It’s from Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula which brought us back memories of our visit to the region in 2017 and back when I was working in wine retail I use to sell some of their wines too 🙌
We didn’t visit Scotchman’s Hill on our last visit to the Bellarine but it’s definitely on the list for when we hopefully get back there this year!
This wine is also vegan friendly which means that they use vegetable 🌱 based fining agents to clarify the wine rather than the more commonly used egg 🥚 and dairy products.
It’s the colour of pale yellow roses 🌹 💛 in the glass. On the nose it inspires thoughts of creamy vanilla custard and fresh passionfruit and peach. While in the mouth it’s smooth, mouth covering and has a nice refreshing citrus lick to it. It’s got a nice amount of oomph and flavour that matched our ‘classy’ chicken chips perfectly, in fact they brought out some of the fruit sweetness in the wine👌
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #tcweekdaywine
