Heggies Vineyard, Estate Riesling, Eden Valley, 2018
Richer elements of the riesling spectrum of rosewater and musk, before dusty chalky aromas with more austere, yet juicy lime pip/flesh and silver ferrous notes. Fleshy fruit offset with crunchy layers of chalky texture. Finishes with a light kick of “Lifesaver Thirst” lollies. Potent and concentrated lime and grapefruit with a fine length. Drink now or in 15 years.
