Botrytis Riesling 2024 [37.5cl]

Heggies Vineyard sits high in the Eden Valley, more than 500 metres above sea level, and has been in family ownership since 1972. The vines are planted in thin, grey, sandy loam over clay and decomposed rock, lean soils that force the roots deep in search of moisture, producing fruit of real intensity and concentration. The high altitude and cool climate allow a long, slow ripening season, and over 150 hectares of native vegetation have been replanted around the vines, creating a natural sanctuary for wildlife and supporting the site's long-term sustainability. One parcel lends itself naturally to producing Botrytis Riesling. A gentle westerly slope, sheltered by trees on three sides and with a dam at its base, creates humid, still mornings and persistent fog, perfect for developing Botrytis cinerea.
