Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2023

ACO Certified Organic & Biodynamic.

Certainly less expressive than Springvale, in keeping with how this wine nearly always displays when young. It’s quite steely and driving, with less overt fruit but a rumble of intensity that send currents of power from front to back. Lots of citric fruit here that then morphs into fresh cut apple and a hint of ginger spice. Its class shows in the form of a mineral undertow, a characteristic that is not seen in the Springvale Riesling. There’s an obvious youthful feel to this and it’s really in need of a few years in the cellar, but the sheer volume and pent-up energy in the wine is all the indication you need: this will be a great Polish Hill in the years to come. - Ches Cook, FWC.

Grosset’s Polish Hill is renowned for its reserve, particularly on release, but this rendition has both its quality and its fruit intensity sitting front and centre. This really does announce itself. Flavours of lemon, lime, grapefruit, chalk and citrus blossom explode onto the palate in the most commanding and authoritative of ways, and then extend (mighty) lengthily through the finish. It’s a lay down misére. It’s scented, intense and sustained. It’s a wine of great beauty. 96 points, drink 2023-2042, Campbell Mattinson, Winefront.
