Grosset Springvale Riesling 2024

Certified Organic & Biodynamic.

A reasonably cool season & the fruit was harvested (by hand) before hotter weather in March. Classic Springvale with white floral, lemon curd, essence of lemon & lime juice, wet pebbles & mouthwatering on the super long back palate. Superb. Ian Cook, FWC.

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.  Drink 2024-2038. 95 points, Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front.

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. Drink to 2035. 95 Points. Mike Bennie, Halliday?s Wine Companion.
