Warm, dry conditions early in the 2002/2003 growing season produced moderate crops. In February much-needed rain topped up the soils, followed by cooler, dry weather until harvest. This allowed the Riesling grapes at Heggies Vineyard to be picked at their optimum flavour. 2003 will long be remembered as one of the great vintages in the Eden Valley. Heggies Vineyard Riesling 2003 is very pale straw in colour with green tinges. The bouquet offers intense aromas of lime citrus and lemon blossom with a fresh floral lift. The palate has wonderful zest and harmony, with the initial flavour of brown limes leading into meadow flowers, while the interaction of intense fruit and natural acid provide excellent length of flavour.
