The 2009 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is composed of 64% Sauvignon Blanc and 36% Semillon, providing a little more intensity on the nose with notes of lemon-lime, pineapple and some fresh herbs. Crisp, light to medium bodied with good concentration and a long lemony finish, this makes a refreshing glass now and should keep to 2012. Among the pioneering Margaret River vineyards, Hay Shed Hill’s original vines were established in the early 1970s. The Morrisons purchased the property in 1989 and developed it into a very respectable 18 hectare estate. They sold it in 2000 to a wine investment group after which focus and quality went through a difficult patch. Winemaker Michael Kerrigan took over the property in December, 2006 and set about restoring the original vineyard’s glory. His emphasis is on producing purely 100% estate grown wines. With four vintages now under his belt, the impressive fruits of his labor are demonstrated in this line-up.Importer: The Country Vintner; www.countryvintner.com.au
