The winery also makes the wines marketed under the brand name Pitchfork, which was introduced in 1997.

[1] Hay Shed Hill Wines traces its origins back to 1973, when its vineyard was established on a large dairy farm; its earliest wines were made in a hay shed, on a hill overlooking the pastures.

[2][3] In 1989, the property, then named Sussex Vale, was bought by Liz and Barry Morrison, who renamed it Hay Shed Hill.

The Morrisons rejuvenated the vineyard, and in 1992 completed a renovation of the cellar door and winery.

[6][7] It was then purchased by a group of friends, including Leith Pavlinovich and winemaker Michael Kerrigan.
