The signature red wine style of Margaret River, from one of the region's most opportune microclimes. Cabernet Sauvignon for sound structure and good flavour, rich dark berry fruit character and aromatic complexity, is backed by firm varietal tannins. The Willyabrup district is home to Margaret River's most distinguished estates, it delivers a quality of Cabernet that's unmatched anywhere else in Australia. The inclusion of Merlot adds wonderful mid palate fleshiness, achieving a sweet fruit centre and exquiste early drinkability to the wine.
Wines are meant to complement life's experiences, to express the quality of good fruit without being overworked by the maker. To this end, Pitchfork is fashioned to an approachable modern styling. Cabernet and Merlot grapes are destemmed and fermented separately in open vessels with extensive pump over cap management to aid colour and flavour extraction, as well as optimize tannin development. The aim is to construct a wine with loads of fruit flavours and background tannin, providing structure without astringency. Components are pressed off skins and matured in a selection of new and seasoned French oak barriques, developing complexity and softening the tannins without dominating the fruit.
TASTING NOTES
Youthful red hue, excellent depth of colour. The bouquet speaks of ripe berry fruits and chocolate mints which are the hallmark of Margaret River Cabernet. Good concentration of ripe plum, mocha and licorice with elements of blackberry, violets and cherry, all serving to form an impressive, fruit filled, fleshy middle palate. A soft round mouthfeel with ripe tannins to complete the finish.
 Hay Shed Hill
Hay Shed Hill is a classic old vineyard in the heart of the Willyabrup Valley, where the region’s first vines were planted and the great tradition of Margaret River wine began
The Hay Shed Hill property was a group settlement farm for returned soldiers from the 1st World War and was originally established as a diary farm. The current homestead, considerably renovated, still has much of the original Group Settlement look and feel. Vines were first planted in 1973 to the varieties which have put Margaret River on the wine map; Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. The property was known as Sussex Vale until 1989 when it was bought by Barry & Liz Morrison. The Morrison’s were instrumental in establishing what you see today, managing to turn a fairly run down farm with a few vines into a quality grape producer with nearly 18 ha of vines. The place was planted right, the right varieties on the right slopes with the right soils. The winemakers today enjoy the advantage of working with truly mature vines. Hay Shed Hill»
