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 Vineyard Riesling. The juice is fermented at cool temperatures using aromatic yeasts and blended early at the completion of fermentation.
 
Heggies Vineyard Riesling 2011 is pale straw with green tints, showing notes of orange blossom, citrus, fresh lime juice and a hint of stone flint. The wine shows great length, drive and complexity with flavours of grapefruit and lime. The wine finishes with a hint of spice and mouth-watering acidity.
 
If this Riesling is in the bottleshop fridge, you've struck gold. It's a single-vineyard Riesling, delicate and delicious, and perfect with fishy entrées. It's one of the few widely distributed wines that you could actually cellar. Greg Duncan Powell, Masterchef Magazine, November 2011

A taut and restrained vintage with shy green apple, lime zest and lemon fruit, nuances of white pepper. Hold off and give it time for steely minerality to uncoil. 93 Points Tyson Stelzer, Wine Taste.
 
Lime juice and zest with a subtle floral edge and a little white peach. It’s packed with flavour, perhaps a touch brassy and coarsely textured, yet mouthwatering and intense with a terrific zippy spicy finish. No whispering seduction here; this is a grunting physical style. Impressive. 93+ Points Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
