In 1995 the decision was made to produce a super premium red wine at the very top end of the scale that would take Vasse Felix to a dimension of quality not seen before. With utmost fruit selection, barrel selection and varietal blending freedom the Heytesbury was born.
The name Heytesbury was chosen as a tribute to Vasse Felix’s parent company, Heytesbury Pty Ltd controlled by Janet Holmes à Court.
