Grosset Springvale Riesling 2025
Pale lemon-lime a touch of herb, super fresh and delicious, pristine lemon zest, long fine and pristine structure. Intense in flavour yet light on its feet. Very impressing indeed. Drink a couple now and cellar the rest for 5-10 years. Ian Cook, Five Way Cellars
This was tasted in the full vigour of its youth, and yet there's an approachability and ease of drinking here. This has lemon-lime fruit as an underpinning, green apple crunch, a talc and brine-like mineral combination, some green herbs and a dash of tonic water, too. It's compact and yet holds a juiciness at its core; the big reveal is just how much flavour is packed in here. There's a wet river pebble feel to texture. Very classic in its feel; a class act. 96 pts, Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion.
The 2025 Grosset Springvale Riesling showcases lively intensity with quintessential Clare Valley character – pure lemon-lime aromatics that fill the mid-palate with remarkable depth and power. Mouth-puckering and bone-dry, this wine delivers fine structure and a lingering, sumptuous finish that speaks to the quality of fruit achieved. Despite a warm, dry and early season, biodynamic farming and holistic vineyard management created almost oasis-like conditions at Springvale. This careful stewardship delivered pristine, flavoursome grapes from the vineyard’s distinctive red loam-over-limestone and slate soils. The result perfectly balances the site’s natural generosity with crystalline purity, demonstrating how sustainable viticulture can triumph over challenging vintage conditions to produce exceptional Clare Valley Riesling.
