Wine Summary Image

Please Note: Vintage may vary when delivered. We do our best to ensure the current vintage is displayed as soon as available, but variations can occur.

Heggies Vineyard is perched in the high country of Eden Valley where the combination of cool climate and high altitude provide the perfect conditions for producing some of Australia’s finest Chardonnay. The majority of the estate comprises of three favoured Burgundian clones that provide a range of flavour opportunities.

Fruit for this wine is selected from the older blocks on the estate which yield low crops and consistently produce Chardonnay of outstanding flavour intensity.

A wet winter in the Eden Valley set the vines up well for a healthy start to the growing season. Spring was drier than average providing good canopy growth. Summer days were warm and dry while nights remained cool throughout harvest which allowed the grapes to retain fresh fruit flavours and good levels of natural acidity.

Expert Reviews

Notable grip that supplies backbone

91 Points

Light bright colour with piercing, intense aromas that evoke lemon/citrus, meringue and nougat aromas, a hint of smoky bacon, while the palate is light but intense and firm, with notable grip that supplies backbone without bitterness or coarseness. Cleansing acidity and an appley aftertaste lingers.

The Real Review, 15 Apr 2023

Winery Tasting Notes

Pale green gold. Fragrant aromas of fresh stone fruits and citrus zest with subtle hints of roast hazelnuts and a touch of flint. The Heggies vineyard consistently produces wines with a distinct and lively minerality to their palate structure. Flavours of freshly picked peach and nectarine are complemented by a fine creamy texture on the mid palate and a refreshing citrus acid drive to finish.

Winery Profile

The magnificent sweep of country that is now the Heggies Vineyard had been grazing land for most of its settled history and was owned by local grazier and bushman, Colin Heggie, before being purchased by Wyndham Hill Smith, then Manager of the Yalumba Wine Company.

Friends since school days, Colin and Wyndham's friendship continued into adulthood and throughout their lengthy negotiation over the purchase of Heggie's land - a negotiation that was, it has been suggested, not a lot more than an excuse for relaxed chats about land, cattle, horses, wine and life!

Planting began in 1971 on the tough North Eastern corner of the property and the first wine was released in 1979. It was the first wine to bear the idiosyncratic label that features a drawing of Colin Heggie, the bushman, looking out over the fledgling Heggies plantings astride his faithful chestnut, Jack.

At 550 metres above sea level, Heggies is one of Australia's highest altitude vineyards and also one of its coolest. The close-planted clonally-selected grafted vines are grown in semi-drought conditions, meaning the soil is lean and hungry - a thin layer of grey sandy loam over clay and decomposed rock. The vines compete vigorously for moisture and nutrient, encouraging roots to dig deep into the soil where it is moist and cool throughout all seasons.
