Description
Former winemaker at Howard Park and Madfish, Michael 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”.
Everything under the Hay Shed Hill label is single-vineyard, which Michael explains. “I make single vineyard and single block wines because they express a particular character – otherwise what`s the point?” All of the vines are dry farmed and made from free run juice only. The vineyards are around 20 years old and they are all farmed organically, but without certification.
