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 Riesling. The juice is fermented at cool temperature using aromatic yeasts and blended early at the completion of fermentation. At Heggies there are a number of blocks of Riesling available so when the final blend is made there is a variety of options ensuring each vintage is of consistently excellent quality.

It was a joyful time in Winter when the heavens opened and filled our dams. Several years of drought had completely drained them so the concerns for the 2010 vintage were allayed. Mild conditions prevailed through the growing season right up to harvest. The cooler season meant that harvest was a little delayed when seeking the right balance in the fruit and the picked grapes were fully flavour ripe.
