Description
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.
"Dijon clones, chilled, whole-bunch pressed, wild-fermented in barrel, matured for 10 months with lees stirring for 6 months. Heggies Chardonnay is well bred and well behaved... 90pts" (Halliday).
