Product Description
On every Heggies Vineyard bottle is the image of a man sitting on top of his horse and surveying the land before him. The man’s name is Colin Heggie, a local grazier, who was the original owner of the picturesque Eden Valley property before he sold it to his old friend Wyndham Hill Smith. Wyndham had an eye for great vineyard sites and he could see the potential for growing quality grapes on this magnificent sweep of country that had been grazing land for so long. We take a minimum intervention approach to winemaking, working with the natural surroundings to capture the flavour and balance of the grapes in their purest essence. In the years that have passed, these low yielding vines have consistently produced grapes with sublime fruit definition and impeccable balance, which the Heggies Vineyard team nurtures into wines of extraordinary flavour and finesse.
Pale green-gold in colour. The bouquet shows fresh and fragrant aromas of stone fruits, grapefruit pith and citrus zest with subtle hints of roasted hazelnuts and spicy oak. The Heggies Vineyard consistently produces wines with distinct and lively minerality. Flavours of white fleshed nectarines, grapefruit and nougat are complemented by a fresh peach sorbet-like texture on the mid-palate and a long drive of fresh citrus acidity to finish.
