Wine Summary Image

Heggies Vineyard is the sort of place a man would sit on his horse in silence at sunset and marvel at the ways of nature. Through the combination of innovative viticultural practices and unique terroir, this challenging and picturesque estate vineyard produces distinctive, balanced wines – beautifully structured and long on flavour.

Nestled in the high country of Eden Valley, Heggies Vineyard is situated at an altitude of 520m above sea level

where the soil is a thin layer of grey sandy loam over clay and decomposed rock. With only 787mm of average annual rainfall, the vines compete vigorously for moisture and nutrients, producing wines of full flavour, finesse and balance

Winery Tasting Notes

Heggies is our Estate Vineyard perched in the high country of Eden Valley where the combination of cool climate and altitude provide the perfect conditions for producing some of Australia’s finest Chardonnay.There are three favoured Burgundian clones on the Estate providing the majority of the vines and a range of flavour opportunities.

Fruit for this wine is selected from the older blocks on the Estate with a range of aspects. These blocks are characterised by their very shallow topsoils which are strewn with quartz on well drained slopes. The vines

yield low crops, which consistently produce Chardonnay of outstanding flavour intensity. The combination of clones in this blend exhibits our extensive experience over many years of working with the variety, on this

site in Eden Valley.

Pale green gold in colour. Aromas of fresh peach and white fleshed nectarines are overlaid by notes of citrus zest and roasted hazelnuts.This vineyard consistently produces wines with a distinct and lively minerality to their palate structure. Flavours of fresh stone fruit, hazelnut nougat and citrus combine together with a fine creamy

texture underpinned by a flinty linear drive.

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.
