WINE & CHEESE MATCHING FOR ALL OCCASIONS
Spring is well and truly underway and it is time to set our mind to summer and all the fantastic opportunities to socialise and celebrate Christmas and the end of another exciting year. Of course, for the season ahead we reach for sparkling and fresh aromatic wines - perfect for inviting summer days and warm nights. If you are like us, you like to ensure your guests are served great food as well as wines from Scotchmans Hill. This year consider some interesting local and imported cheese.
Cheese comes in all styles and forms so it comes down to the type of cheese you select to partner your wines. Sparkling and aromatic styles of wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio match best with softer styles of cheese such as Brie de Nangis or Delice de Cremiers. For great cheese matches we suggest you check out Milk the Cow who have cheese to match every wine and occasion.

A huge congratulations to Robin Brockett, Marcus Holt and our extended winemaking and vineyard team on a fantastic Wine Show season. We are very excited to receive a Gold for the 2014 Scotchmans Hill Shiraz at the prestigious Royal Melbourne Wine Awards, as well as a Gold for the 2013 Cornelius Syrah at the Ballarat Wine Show.
Shiraz holds a special place in our hearts at Scotchmans Hill. Medium-bodied, fragrant and nimble, the cool maritime climate Shiraz produced on the Bellarine Peninsula continues to show its pedigree. While these two award-winning wines are still a taste of things to come, our current release 2013 Scotchmans Hill Shiraz and 2010 Cornelius Syrah are also gorgeous drinking, and are both available online and at our cellar door.
