“Highly regarded former winemaker at Howard Park, Mike Kerrigan has acquired the business (with co-ownership by the West Cape Howe syndicate) and is now the full-time winemaker. He had every confidence he could dramatically lift the quality of the wines, which is precisely what he has done.”
James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2009
“With a star-studded career behind him…Michael Kerrigan has taken on a new challenge at the neighbouring Hay Shed Hill winery. (…) Kerrigan is considered one of the most respected technicians in this super-premium region.”

Pitchfork Chardonnay (unoaked)
“(…). Value” (2008 vintage)
“Shows what can be achieved with unoaked chardonnay where the quality of the grapes is not in doubt; here a bright display of white peach and a twist of grapefruit does the job. Value.”
James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010
Pitchfork Cabernet Merlot
92/100 points “(…) supple…” (2007 vintage)
“Flush with predominantly redcurrant/red cherry fruits, which shows this blend doesn’t have to be painfully earthy or savoury; supple mouthfeel adds to the appeal. Great value.”
James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010
Pitchfork Shiraz
(2009 vintage)
“The Pitchfork wines are affordably priced – and pretty decent, quality-wise. This 2009 shiraz sure is. (…). Neither over nor under done, neither too simple nor too challenging. (…).”
Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront, April 2011
92/100 points “(…) vibrant…” (2007 vintage)
“Aromas of violets and cherry blossom on the bouquet lead into a vibrant, fresh palate with cherry and plum fruit leading the way. Excellent value.”
