TASTING NOTES
Pale straw with green hues.The nose exhibits aromas of fresh cut pear and honey dew melon with some zesty citric notes. There are no overt woody or buttery aromas with the primary fruit characters expressed with clarity and definition. The palate is fresh and lively with clean crisp acidity complementing the vibrant fruity flavours. The palate has very good extension and ends clean and bright. This is a restrained style of Australian Chardonnay and highlights how far we have come with this style of wine over the last decade.
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.
