Heggies Vineyard, Estate Riesling, Eden Valley, 2022
Very pale lemon/straw colour. Fresh lime juice and spiced lemongrass with depth and richness from brûlée, curd and talc. Everything in place. Neat as a pin with precise acidity balancing elegant fruit. Good persistence offering plenty of length to the palate. Another fine release of this label.
