a note from the winemaker

Established in 1982 by the Browne family, Scotchmans Hill continues to be one of Victoria’s most prominent family-owned wine businesses.

Beginning with wines sourced solely from the Bellarine Peninsula, we have evolved into a company that produces and distributes wine from the key winemaking regions of Australia and New Zealand.

Modern and traditional winemaking techniques are utilized at our Geelong winery facility to produce some of Australia's most individual wines, with characteristics typical of the various regions.
