TASTING NOTES
An intense and rich bouquet led by the ripest cassis and berry fruits, rich and opulent.Behind the primary fruits are distinctive vineyard characteristics of dark chocolate and mint. The oak is background cedar which will recede further as the fruits emerge with some bottle age. This vineyard consistently produces intense fleshy and full mid palate Cabernet with massive fruit weight with dark cherry and blackcurrant flavours. ample fruit sweetness that will only become more accessible as the wine matures in bottle. This is a big full wine with ample flavour and concentration in the classic Margaret River tradition.
BACKGROUND
Originally a group settlement dairy farm for returned soldiers from the 1st World War The current homestead, considerably renovated, still has much of the original Group Settlement look and feel. Vines were first planted in 1973.As the old hay shed from the dairy days was a local landmark, the Morrison’s used this to create the new name for the property, Hay Shed Hill. Tools found in the hay shed provided them with the inspiration for Hay Shed’s sister label – Pitchfork Wines. Current owner and winemaker is Michael Kerrigan.
