The 2025 Hesketh Limestone Coast Series Wild at Heart Rosé is a refreshing Australian rosé from South Australia’s Limestone Coast, produced by the family-owned Hesketh Wines. Drawing on the region’s maritime influences, moderate growing conditions and distinctive limestone-rich landscapes, this wine offers a fresh, fruit-driven style with delicate aromatic complexity. Its anticipated bouquet suggests wild strawberries, fresh raspberries, red cherries and watermelon, complemented by subtle notes of rose petals, pink grapefruit, citrus blossom and gentle herbal freshness.
On the palate, it is expected to be light to medium-bodied with lively acidity and a smooth, delicate texture. Flavours of juicy strawberry, redcurrant, white peach and fresh watermelon unfold alongside hints of citrus zest, cranberry and subtle savoury spice. Its bright red-fruit character is balanced by refreshing acidity, creating an approachable rosé with an elegant, crisp profile. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving lingering impressions of summer berries, grapefruit peel and delicate mineral notes.
