Heggies Vineyard Cloudline Chardonnay

Pale gold with green tints. Vibrant stone fruits and quince with subtle hints of native blossom and lemon myrtle. Fresh and zesty with generous stone fruit flavours on the midpalate. The fine, creamy texture is complemented by refreshing grapefruit acidity. Fermented and matured for 8 ½ months in French oak barriques; 30% of blend in 7% new oak and the balance 1 year and older. Enjoy with a grilled nectarine and mozzarella salad with mint, rocket, balsamic and roasted cashew cream.  

Great vineyards translate place more profoundly than variety, and there is no mistaking that this
is from the home of the wonderful Heggies Riesling. This site perched some 550m above
sea level is captured eloquently in the cool nights of 2020. With crunchy lemon, lime, nashi
pear and almost ripe white peach, this is a tangy, vibrant chardonnay to drink like a riesling.
Cloudline, indeed.
