Pale gold with slight green-gold tints. Complex aromas of yellow citrus, cut apple, stone fruit and fresh fig with notes of struck flint, brioche and a hint of spicy French oak. Flavours of fresh peach, citrus zest, green mango and roasted hazelnuts are underpinned by a fine creamy texture and flinty bottle complexity. The Heggies minerality which is such a feature of this vineyard leads the wine to an elegant, lingering finish.

Line and length define Heggies Vineyard Reserve Chardonnay. This wine shows a fine restraint in its youth that will gain more depth and complexity with bottle age.

Enjoy with pan seared scallops with pea puree and crispy pancetta or potatoes au gratin.
