2022 Heggies Vineyard Reserve Chardonnay

Dave Brookes - Halliday Wine Companion

Pale straw with just a peek of green, there's a detail and linear tension to this year's release that is very appealing. White peach, nectarine and citrus with hints of marzipan, nougat, crushed quartz, wildflowers, clotted cream and nicely judged, dreamy French oak all playing nicely together. Excellent clarity and minerally cadence with a crème fraîche sweep on the mid-palate, some nice grapefruit pith texture and a clean and decidedly moreish flow on the finish.

This has reductively flinty and smoky nuances to the peach and green-apple aromas. It’s medium-bodied, textured and savory with excellent freshness and a salty, flinty finish.

Solid chardonnay. What this wine offers is a mouthful of grilled peach and cedarwood flavour, and while you could argue that it doesn’t have a lot of spark, or even finesse, it does pound the pavement pretty hard, in a good way. There’s a seawater aspect to the nose but otherwise it’s just all peach and oak. with maybe a bit of candied citrus whispering thereabouts.
