A stone’s throw away from the famous Hanging Rock. This is an optimal cool climate site with vines that are over 30 years old. Hesket Estate specialises in Sparkling, Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Shiraz and Sangiovese fruit is also sourced from Heathcote.

They utilise wild yeast ferments, minimal filtration and no fining. Wine is aged in French oak barriques and puncheons. Over the years Hesket Estate has received a range of awards from the Macedon Ranges Wine Exhibition and the Daylesford Wine Show. Cellar Door is open every weekend 11:30am to 4:30pm.
