Hay Shed Hill Pitchfork Margaret River Cabernet-Merlot 2023
Red Wine from Australia - Western Australia
A deliciously accessible taste of Margaret River cabernet, one of Australia's most iconic wine styles. Cabernet thrives here and the addition of merlot to the blend provides a juicy core of red-fruit, bringing a certain succulence to the palate. This is a joyful expression of this premium wine region, with blackcurrant, plum, red berries and bay leaf notes, with a twist of pepper spice. The tannins are ripe and juicy and complemented by mouthwatering freshness.

Hay Shed Hill
Winemaker Michael Kerrigan, formerly of Madfish and Howard Park, bought this pioneering winery in 2006 so that he could make his own premium wines.
Originally a dairy farm established for returning veterans of World War One, the estate is now named after the hay shed that was originally built in the 1920s as part of the veterans’ foundation and which still stands today. Vines were first planted on the estate in 1973 which make the older plants among the oldest vines in the Margaret River area. The estate sits in the heart of the Wilyabrup sub region, one of the best of the west.
The vineyard is worked sustainably and only the best parcels make it into the premium label, with grapes from parcels that, while excellent, don’t make the demanding final cut bottled under the Pitchfork label. Classic Margaret River varieties are grown; cabernet sauvignon, merlot, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, semillon and riesling, but there are also tempranillo, pinot noir, muscat, grenache, malbec and cabernet franc bottlings too, not to mention bubbly and olive oil!
