Grosset Wines philosophy has remained steadfast over thirty years. The emphasis is on purity of fruit.  The organically managed vineyards are hand tended, and each bunch of grapes is harvested at optimum ripeness. The winemaking process is gentle and uncomplicated.  With dedication, discipline and the application of knowledge garnered through decades of experience, the result is the finest expression of variety and place.​

This is once again, from the ultra cool Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills. The extremely low yields from this vineyard ensure intense wines.

There’s an immediacy to the Grosset Chardonnay 2022 with bright, vibrant aromatics that are ripe yet restrained – nectarine, white peach and grapefruit. These characters give intensity and weight to the mid-palate with complexity added by hints of cashew and hazelnut. There’s finesse and balance before a crisp, zesty finish that lingers long and pure. Delicious now yet all signs are there that this will develop into an impressive, complex and mature chardonnay.

Light, bright lemon-yellow colour and a subtle, reserved bouquet of lemon, almond, honey and subtle smoky, buttery croissant overtones. The wine is refined and intense in the mouth, with a winning combination of drive and subtlety. The line and length are impeccable and it promises to reward cellaring. Delicious now, too.  Date: Feb 2024; Alcohol: 13.7%; Price: $80.00; Drink: 2024-2037; Rating: 96 Points; Huon Hooke; The Real Review
