Pitchfork Semillon Sauvignon Blanc
When Michael Kerrigan was at the height of his powers making wine for another premium WA producer, he decided to pull up stumps, buy some vines, and make wine his way. Hay Shed Hill was born and an impressive move for "Kegs" it was. Pitchfork is their everyday drinking range, designed to be fresh and fruit forward for early enjoyment. This great little dry white is zesty, clean and fresh, delivering all the fruity goodness your heart could desire.
