Polish Hill for the ages; a white that will delight while young; and yet age as gracefully as we hope to. At its core, it is intense, powerful and fine, pure lime juice that tingles on the mid-palate and shows impressive length even now. One of the finest wines to come from the Grosset Polish Hill Vineyard. Enjoy now or in 20 years. Produced from Riesling grown at the Grosset Polish Hill Vineyard, certified organic and biodynamic (ACO). Unfined: vegan and vegetarian friendly.
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.

Exceptional concentration of fruit flavour here. This is straight and direct but wow it has a charge to it. Lime, chalk, white flower and wet slate flavours storm through the palate in emphatic fashion. There’s an extra note to the finish that I can’t quite place but I’ll call it brine splashed on potpourri splashed on rocks. The longer I sit and taste this wine the more I think that this is a Grosset riesling for the ages.

This needs no introduction; safe to say, this is one of the most delicious young releases of this wine. Immediate appeal in abundant jasmine floral lift, green apple fruitiness, soft lime elements, ginger cake, blackcurrant touches and a wellspring of saline minerality. There's a juiciness, though strict ribbons of pulverised pumice and granitic mineral character find chew and pucker here, too. In all that, the intensity is somewhat dialled down while drinkability is through the roof. No matter, the character shifts each year in degree; it's a stellar wine, full of inimitable character and a finesse that Grosset does so well.
