Blended Cabernet Sauvignon 40%, Shiraz 40% and Merlot 20%.

This Cabernet Sauvignon is a vibrant with abundant bright red fruit and a rich round palate. Lingering red berries and subtle oak notes complete this wine delivering a fine texture and polished tannins.

This Sauvignon Blanc displays characters of fragrant lemon and white peach. Hints of elderflower are complemented by a subtle fruit acidity providing a crisp dry finish for instant enjoyment.

A moderately warm and early spring brought flowering on earlier than the long term average. Gentle slow ripening from summer months without extreme heat allowed for gradual ripening of tannins while retaining high levels of natural acidity in the fruit. Perfect for Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit from the 20121 ‘Sfera’ Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested from our Block 5 Cab Sauv. Machine harvested at night to retain freshness, before haulage to the winery. For us ‘oxygen’ is a bad word while in the winery. Only small amounts of gentle pumping over was needed for the 2021 year as the colour and tannin were already present from the vineyard. Pressing of skins took place on day 6 and the wine was transferred to stainless tanks. The 2021 Cabernet has hints of spearmint, dark chocolate and classic cigar box. Gliding tannin’s will see this wine sit in the tomb for many years to come. Pair with smelly cheeses or another bottle.

The Hesketh Twist of Fate Cab Sauv from the Limestone Coast Series is a true delight for the senses. The 2022 vintage boasts a deep, ruby-red color that glistens in the glass. On the nose, rich aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, and a hint of tobacco entice the palate. Upon first sip, the wine reveals a medium-bodied palate with velvety tannins and a well-balanced acidity. Flavors of dark berries, plums, and a touch of spice create a complex and elegant taste profile. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant aftertaste that begs for another sip. As with all Hesketh wines, this 2022 Cab Sauv is a testament to their commitment to quality and craftsmanship. A wonderful representation of the Limestone Coast region, this wine is sure to please even the most discerning of palates.
