Extremely limited stocks available.

"96 Points. Notwithstanding the same modest alcohol as Pitchfork, has much greater intensity of flavour and also length; while barrel-fermented in French oak (11 months maturation) fruit, rather than oak, drives the wine. Screwcap. 12.5% alc. Drink 2018 $25 Date Tasted Dec 08" - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010 Edition.  

"Everyone is talking about climate change and how it might affect all sorts of endeavours, now I don’t now if climate change has anything to do with it but the last two vintages in Western Australia have been the strangest that anyone can remember. 2006 was the latest and coolest vintage since these sorts of things were recorded whereas 2007 was the complete opposite being a very early vintage. Perfect spring conditions of clear skies and warm but not hot temperatures meant early and good uniform budburst and good flowering. Although conditions were perfect the crop load was very light – in many cases half than normal. This very light crop load combined with good growing conditions meant that fruit ripening was very fast with many people harvesting in January, unheard of in the South West. A light crop with good sunlight means that the vines had plenty of energy to produce goodies for the grapes; flavour and colour abound across all varieties. " - Notes from Hay Shed Hill.

"Michael Kerrigan makes pristine wines and he’s now got the Hay Shed Hill wines humming. This chardonnay is lovely. Elegant, pure, modestly flavoured and 100 percent satisfying. It tastes of grapefruit and nectarine and toasty oak and it all floats through your mouth with delicate ease. Nice length. Noticeably low alcohol. Already drinking well though it’s so fine and acidic that it will likely drink better given another six months in bottle. Lovely in an understated way. Rated : 91 Points Alcohol : 12.5% Price : $24 Closure : Screwcap Drink : 2010 - 2012" - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.
