About the Winery

Here, vines were first planted during the early 1970s.

By the 1980s, the Hay Shed Hill was purchased by the Morrison Family. During the year 1997, this wine label also introduced its sister brand, Pitchfork. By the year 2006, the vineyard was bought back by a group of partners who have been managing the Hay Shed Hill winery beautifully till date.
