About the Winery

The Western Australian wine label of Hay Shed Hill is located in Wilyabrup, found inside the Margaret River wine region. The vineyard is situated on a property that was originally a place where the soldiers who returned from the First World War got settled with their families. 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.

The hilly area of the vineyards along with the cool climate makes this place ideal for growing the white wine varietal of Chardonnay. The steepness of the vineyards makes them ideal for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. Only small yields of fruits are grown here, which improves the quality of the vines.
