Buy Heggies Wine Online
The Heggies Vineyard was purchased in 1971 by Wyndham Hill Smith from his great friend, Colin Heggie. The label portrays Colin astride his horse Jack at sunset, surveying the first plantings in the fledgling vineyard.
Heggies Vineyard in the high country of the Eden Valley, is a place of great beauty and personality. The carefully tended vineyard with its manicured rows of vines is in stark contrast to the towering gums, rocky granite outcrops and rugged surrounding hills.
Heggies is a single vineyard in the Eden Valley where the 'terroir' is encouraged to produce the distinctive Heggies wine styles. The soil is a thin layer of grey sandy loam over clay and decomposed rock - and vines compete vigorously for moisture and nutrient. An altitude of 550 m above sea level, 787 mm of annual rain, plus innovative viticultural practises produce wines of full flavour and balance.
