Fruit from the Heggies Vineyard is picked in the cool of the night and swiftly transported to our winery. The grapes are given minimal handling and only free run juice is used in the making of this wine. The juice is fermented at cool temperatures using aromatic yeasts, and then blended early at the completion of vintage. In 2004, the grapes had such perfect fruit/acid balance that the wine was able to be made without any extra acid additions.
The wine has a pale straw colour with a delicate green tint. The nose is intense showing citrus blossom and other white flowers. The palate is crisp and delicious with flavours of limes and fruit zest. Heggies Riesling always shows a wonderful minerality, as though you are tasting the crushed quartz which is the underbed of much of the Vineyard.
