Hay Shed Hill Pitchfork Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, 75 cl, Case of 3

Former winemaker at Howard Park and Madfish, Michael Kerrigan struck out on his own when his dream vineyards in the key quality region of Wilyabrup came up for sale. With more than 30 years of winemaking under his belt, and 12 years going solo with Hay Shed Hill, this man is one of the most experienced, respected and revered winemakers in Australia - and rightly so. He is also a strong purveyor of classically blunt Aussie pearls of wisdom. "It's all in the detail - you quite simply visit the vineyard every day. I'm not interested in being epic, I just want to make wine I like to drink." He likens Margaret River's climate to "Bordeaux in a perfect year", and attributes the region's success to its maritime climate, meaning a low diurnal range, very important in a country that is known for its extremes in temperature, and pretty much everything else! The Pitchfork range represents unprecedentedly good value considering that all of the grapes are grown in Margaret River - very unusual for a wine at the entry level from this region, and yet another example of Michael's commitment to quality over all else. There are 4 lip smackingly good, everyday wines in this range. Fun fact. There is a higher annual rainfall in Margaret River than in London!
