“We’re excited to introduce this new chapter for Scotchmans Hill. The Sol\u00e9 project began eight years ago, followed by the planting of Albari\u00f1o, Fiano, Sangiovese Ros\u00e9, Gamay and Sangiovese, an ambitious investment in the future of the Bellarine Peninsula,” he said.<\/p>\n
“These varieties are exceptionally well suited to our evolving conditions, and their strong result at this year’s Geelong Wine Show confirms the potential we recognised from the outset. We’re incredibly proud of what the team has created and look forward to the future of the Sol\u00e9 range.”<\/p>\n
Chief winemaker, Robin Brockett, reflected further on the origins and outcome of the project.<\/p>\n
“The vision for the new Sol\u00e9 range started eight years ago when I was considering the future of varieties that could thrive in our region. The premise behind this was our climate changing, along with the changing tastes of consumers, while always looking to future trends,” he said.<\/p>\n
“The wines under Sol\u00e9 are a manifestation of this, and they have delivered far more than I expected all those years ago. A great success.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Winemakers and the wider Scotchmans Hill team describe the launch as a milestone moment for the estate and a proud contribution to Geelong’s growing reputation as a producer of innovative cool-climate wines.<\/p>\n The arrival of Sol\u00e9 marks the introduction of entirely new varietals to Scotchmans Hill, expanding the estate’s portfolio in a way not seen before. These wines bring a fresh, youthful energy to the range, offering a modern interpretation of Mediterranean styles that align with contemporary Australian preferences.<\/p>\n Sol\u00e9 demonstrates Scotchmans Hill’s commitment to innovation and future-focused winemaking. By exploring new varieties and styles, the estate is enriching the Bellarine’s evolving wine identity and opening new pathways for regional expression.<\/p>\n The full Sol\u00e9 collection is now available at the Cellar Door, featured alongside seasonal dishes in the restaurant, and online, making it an ideal summer gift and an engaging introduction to this new direction for Scotchmans Hill.<\/p>\n With its vibrant styles and coastal charm, Sol\u00e9 offers visitors and wine lovers an inspiring glimpse into the future of the estate.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/ScotchmansHill_winem_34003.jpg\")
