Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2025

Beautiful wine from a ‘hard rock’ vineyard. A meticulously hand tended vineyard with shaley, unfertile soil with a touch of clay and shale crust. The vines work harder and produce smaller, concentrated berries. A touch shy initially on the nose. Mineral, gun flint, lime zest and power coming through the mid palate, very expressive with the weight of a GG German Riesling. Slate and mineral notes on the back palate, tight and coiled acidity. Chalky, steely, with a deep and very long backbone. The finish is long and ultra dry, yet with great balance. Wow a platter of oysters please. Ian Cook, Five Way Cellars 

This release comes with some upfront approachability, while maintaining expected intensity, quality in concentration of flavour, a piercing acid line and chalky, puckering texture. There's immense complexity here – lime, gingery apple juice, jasmine tea, pink grapefruit and talc-chalk minerality. The potency and flesh are interesting; they speak of an easy access now, and perhaps a little less longevity from this release. No quibble – the fruit personality and depth are impressive. The crystalline finish is a treat, too. Excellent, of course. 95 pts, Mike Bennie, Halliday 

A Polish Hill for the ages – wonderfully aromatic and intensely fragrant, this 2025 vintage delivers full-throttle power while maintaining the vineyard’s signature finesse. Pure lime juice intensity tingles and electrifies the mid-palate, supported by characteristic slate-driven minerality and bone-dry structure. The wine’s impressive length reveals layers of citrus complexity with that signature lingering finish Polish Hill devotees treasure. This is a white wine that delights in its youth – fresh, bright, and immediately captivating – yet possesses the mineral backbone to age gracefully for decades. The marriage of immediate pleasure and long-term potential makes this vintage particularly special, representing one of the finest expressions from this legendary Clare Valley vineyard.
