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.

The aromatics are quintessential Clare Riesling - intense and pure lemon lime, with depth on the mid-palate: mouth-puckering, fine, and lingering on a long, sumptuous finish. Thanks to a cool season, biodynamic farming and the unique site of red loam-over-limestone (and slate), the typical generosity expressed by this wine is enhanced by fresh, powerful varietal characteristics.  Produced from Riesling grown at Grosset Springvale Vineyard, certified organic and biodynamic (ACO). Unfined: vegan and vegetarian friendly .

Polish Hill has this covered but this is still a fabulous Springvale Riesling. It’s an interesting wine, driven by lemon and lime as you would expect but with anise, marshmallow and pretty floral characters floating about. The anise is almost into red licorice territory, which seems bizarre in a riesling, but it’s definitely there, like a lurker to the forum of citrus and tonic water. Grosset has been a star producer for all the time I’ve been in wine but right now its wines are as good or better than they’ve ever been. I’m opting for a score of 95 but I could easily go 96.

An attractive and approachable, understated expression emerges from this '24 release of Springvale. Lemon-lime, some orange peel, faint minty notes, green apple juice, with some lemon verbena and tutti-frutti floral notes expressed through scents and flavours alike. Texture is somewhat waxy, the finish cool and firm, bright and zesty. Very enjoyable right now, a little lighter on in character, with lots of pleasing, cool and bright charisma.
