James Halliday – "A classic high-quality Margaret River cabernet from an extremely good vintage, with more depth to rounded, fleshy fruit and quality oak than is usual with this wine. It's estate grown, and the vines decades old. It exudes cassis and has an excellent ripe tannin structure. 14% alc. Screwcap. Drink by: 2035"
About This Wine
A beautiful drinking Cabernet that offers amazing value for money at this limited-time discounted price.
The Hay Shed Hill Vineyard Series Cabernet Sauvignon is another top-line Margaret River Cabernet offering that is already receiving plenty of attention. Opening with an intense and rich bouquet led by lifted cassis and berry fruits that leap out of the glass. On the palate, there is plenty of the distinctive vineyard flavours of dark chocolate and mint, with plenty of blackcurrant, dark cherry and red fruit notes. Fleshy with excellent concentration, the well-handled oak is in perfect harmony with the quality fruit.
The Hay Shed Hill Vineyard Series wines are made from fruit grown exclusively on the Hay Shed Hill estate in Margaret River. Planted in the early 1970's, the vineyard allows Hay Shed Hill to consistently produce flavoursome wines of great depth and character.

Margaret River Wine
In the southwest of Western Australia, the Margaret River wine region is unique in that it is the most maritime-influenced region in all of Australia. The cool Indian ocean breezes come in through the summer to keep the temperatures around the vines steady resulting in an unusually even accumulation of warmth in the growing season. It is also quite dry as interestingly less than 20% of the annual rainfall occurs as the grapes are growing. The region’s climatic factors have been compared to what Bordeaux would be like in a dry season. While the region’s total production is relatively small (3% of Australia’s total wine production), it is responsible for 20% of our premium wine market.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz as well as Bordeaux blends are all very popular red wine options in the region.
For whites, refreshing blends of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon as well as complex, age worthy Chardonnays are the specialties.
