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.
The ‘Springvale’ also surprises being more intensely primal than it is in most vintages. It entices with lime and lemon blossom aromas. There’s layer after layer of mouth-puckering lime juice flavours, tight structure, spine-tingling acidity and shaley minerally notes that linger. It’s an outstanding ‘Springvale’, fine, intense, pure, minerally and dry.
Gentle lime and lemongrass aromatics, almost shy at present, precede a palate that, even at this early stage, shows evidence of its quality and impeccable balance. It has pristine lemon, lime flavours that are powerful, intense and bright. This vintage, there's more concentration and generosity of flavour: more weight without any loss of finesse. Produced from riesling grown at Grosset Springvale Vineyard, certified organic and biodynamic (ACO). Unfined vegan friendly.
Pale colour; yeasty waxy small white flowers to sniff. Very dry, chalky texture, good intensity but also great delicacy. Finesse and flow". Date Tasted: August 2022; Drink: 2022 to 2034; Rating: 95 Points; Huon Hooke; The Real Review
Curiously, in 2022, I feel the Springvale is less approachable in youth than the Polish Hill. Usually, of course, it’s the other way round. Very intense and concentrated flavour. A bomb of lime and green apple, some floral/lily perfume, a fine white pepper dusty texture, very coiled up and firm, a whisper of aniseed, maybe, and a very long finish. Unusually tight and stony for a Watervale! An outstanding vintage for this wine. Tasted: September 2022; Price: $51; Closure: Screwcap; Drink: 2024-2042; Rated: 95+ Points; Gary Walsh; The Wine Front
