Located in the village of Hesket, the vineyard at Hesket Estate was first established in the 1980’s. Further expansion and refinement occurred in the 1990’s. The vineyard is at an elevation of 660 metres above sea level. Hesket Estate is today a boutique cool climate vineyard specialising in the varieties of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling. The 2008 Chardonnay won the Gold medal and People’s Choice award at the 2010 Macedon Ranges Wine Exhibition. In addition to these Estate grown wines a Heathcote Shiraz is available.

Proprietors, the Hudspeth- Stevenson family utilise modern viticulture techniques using the grey and red loam soils of the beautiful Hesket Kerrie Valley.   Such techniques yield grapes of exceptional quality and character.   All grapes are handpicked.   Tasting and sales of these fine wines in this peaceful garden setting will allow you to experience the lifestyle of a truly boutique vineyard.

Join the Hudspeth- Stevenson family at Budburst 2011 to celebrate the release of ‘The Margaret’ Macedon Sparkling 2005. Produced from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir this sparkling is dedicated to the family matriarch.
