97 Points – James Halliday

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. 

The 2022 Hay Shed Hill Vineyard Series Chardonnay offers up aromas of fresh cut pear and honey dew melon with some zesty citric notes. The palate is fresh and lively with clean crisp acidity complementing the vibrant fruity flavours. Finishing long, clean and crisp, this is restrained modern-style Australian Chardonnay with enormous appeal. 

“97 Points. This is a first-class estate chardonnay from a great vintage; using the best free-run juice fermented in French barriques and matured therein for 11 months. The richness of the white peach and melon fruit gives rise to classic each way drinking options. $30. 12.5% alc. Drink to 2032.”- James Halliday, Halliday Top 100, The Weekend Australian.
