How is it possible that such deliciousness is still circa $20 a bottle? Between this Heggies Vineyard Riesling 2022 and the Pewsey Vale last week, there is enough evidence to suggest a)you should drink more Australian dry Riesling b)so should everyone else.
The cool year is imprinted here. Celery and grapefruit crunch, yet the palate has this lovely lemongrass citrus generosity that really carries it. Maybe not wildly intense, but man, this is lively and perfectly poised. Yum.
Best drinking: now or in a decade. I’d just go now. 18/20, 93/100. 11.5%, $26. Heggies Vineyard website. Would I buy it? Shit yes. In 15 seconds of Googling, I found it for sub $20, including delivery!
