I am the first to admit that at times I live beyond my means. There are consumables that stretch this, and in rare moments, items of relief. Discovering wines like Heggies’ Riesling for under $30 is one of them. The wine opens with a most pretty nose of white blossoms, clementine, sliced Granny Smith apples, and fresh water over pebbled brooks. There is something almost purifying about it, a purge of the week’s stress and for some… reckless spending. Between the zip and zing of lime zest and green apple flesh, the wine is lightweight and downy. A gentle grip on the palate pulls it down a line of slaty minerality towards a talcy close. In Heggies, we trust.

An advocate for chardonnay, she plans to use her position as Deputy Chair for Wine Communicators SA Chapter to break the ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) stigma. If sentenced to death, her last meal would be freshly baked bread and salted butter paired with a glass of the best wine in the world - chardonnay of course.
