The Heggies Vineyard grapes are picked in the cool of the night and swiftly transported to our winery. There is minimal handling of the juice and only the free run portion is selected for Heggies Riesling. The juice is fermented at cool temperatures using aromatic yeasts and blended early at the completion of vintage. At Heggies there are a number of blocks of Riesling available so when the final blend is made there is a variety of options ensuring each vintage is of consistently excellent quality. The nose shows lively citrus blossom, lemongrass and white flowers. These are typical Heggies with a touch more floral notes showing than previous vintages. The palate has full fruit weight opening with bright citrus zestiness with a rich middle fullness. The wine is fine and balanced finishing with enduring mineral notes still evident long after the wine has been tasted.
