Grosset Springvale Riesling 2026

Very difficult to place the Springvale behind the Polish Hill. More florals, white flowers, a spicy lift on the nose – maybe from the red loam on limestone, more zest, lime powder, and a little softer than the Polish Hill – even a little more pith in the mid palate. Drink both, but please keep some of each to drink at maturity (10-20 years). Ian Cook, FWC.

This is peak and pitch-perfect Grosset Springvale. Tension meets an approachable juiciness. It's redolent of all the citrus fruits, from yellow to green to orange, with green apple and blackcurrant leaf. The flavours are similarly set, with a chalky minerality chiming in. Deliciousness abounds. All of this with a quiet power, a grace, and exceptional length. In essence, it delivers on the promise of quality while nailing down drinkability. Something to strive for. 96+ points, drink 2026-2040,Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion.

Lime, white flowers, cut fennel, green cardamom, a light spicy note. Quite juicy, but there’s also a light chalky grip here, white pepper and apple cucumber coolness, lime rind, a little quinine bite and perfume on a finish of excellent length. It’s a delicious wine, and quite approachable now for my tastes, though of course it will age surely too. 95 points, The Wine Front, 16 August 2026.
