Heggies Vineyard Reserve Chardonnay 2023 winemakeroftheyear2026 The Blanc Canvas Gruner VeltlinerPale 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.
