Hesketh

Three generations of the Hesketh family have been involved in the wine industry for over sixty years, but an aversion to convention has always led them to follow 'the path less travelled by'. In 2006 Jonathon and Trish established the Hesketh Wine Company to produce wines that reflect the family's history. This translates to their wine being known for regional typicity and clear varietal expression and a level of sophistication beyond the selling prices. Quality is the overriding priority.

South Australia

South Australia, the heart of Australian winemaking, is renowned for its diverse wine regions and exceptional quality. Home to the iconic Barossa Valley, the state produces some of the world's finest Shiraz, known for its bold, rich flavours. The cooler climate of the Adelaide Hills is perfect for elegant Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, while the Clare Valley is celebrated for its crisp, aromatic Riesling. McLaren Vale is famed for its robust Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. The diverse terroir, from coastal regions to high-altitude vineyards, allows for a wide variety of grape varieties and wine styles. South Australia remains a must-visit destination for wine lovers seeking premium, world-class wines.
