Riesling
75cl * Vegan * Organic & Biodynamic * 12% ABV * Clare Valley, Australia
The 2024 vintage of Grosset Polish Hill Riesling is hailed as one of the best ever produced, and a 'wine for the ages' and one would assume for aging too.
The vineyard is at 450 metres above sea level and is a low producing site, owing to its solid rock geology. What that means is that the Riesling being produced is low in yield but high in complexity. The yield is tiny and of that only the first free run juice is used to make this wine. Known for its bright acidity, lemon and lime characteristics and shale-like minerality the wine is fine and steely with a long finish.
98 Points, Tyson Stelzer WBM, Thanks to a cool season and biodynamic farming, Jeff Grosset proclaims 2024 as the most pristine fruit he has seen since he first planted in the Clare Valley in the early 1980s. By jove! Polish Hill 2024 is as desperately gorgeous as any of the highlights of (Grosset's) lauded career. Dainty white lily, granny smith apple and lemon blossom of pinpoint perfection rise in a dramatic crescendo over a powerful core of talcum powder structure, crystalline acidity and ancient slate texture, tracing a finish unrelenting for a full sixty seconds. It is at once lighter than air and yet possessing a resolute determination that sets a future in the cellar as enduring as the career of its maker. The essence of the Clare, time will most certainly reveal this to be one of the greatest in Grosset's 44 vintage history, and one of the finest Australian rieslings conjured yet.
