Grosset
Polish Hill Clare Valley Riesling



Light yellow in colour. Paraffin notes with Toast and Honey on the nose. Good refreshing citric acid (lime and lemon) - still very youthful at 12 years of age. On the palate, purity and power with amazing flavour persistence. Regarded as one of Australia’s Premium Rieslings with good reason.

Saturday lunch with friends. Aromas of white flowers and bath talcum powder. Amazingly youthful for a 9 year old Riesling - a long future ahead of at least another 10 to 15 years. Vibrant acidity will nurture this going forward. Considered by many to be Australia’s premium Riesling. A class act which will no doubt put on weight in the coming 10 years. Had another bottle 42 weeks later on 17th April 2022 with consistent notes. Very contained and youthful. Not a hint of kerosene. Leave the remaining 2? bottles for a couple of years at least.

Light pale lemon in colour. Bath talc and lime aromas, white flowers. Not a hint of Kero. Clean as a whistle on the palate with lime and lively citric acidity. A textural chalky mineral note. Still with a long future. Many good judges feel that this is Australia’s premium Riesling. If it’s not the best, it’s certainly in the conversation. From the Clare Valley SA.

Lime juice and I love it. A bit pricey for what you get, but oh well

Probably Australia's best Riesling in an excellent vintage. First bottle of 6 - next in 2 to 3 years. Notes of lemon. Chalky minerality with taut vibrant acidity. Great wine with a 10+ year future. No kero notes as yet.

Ran out of 'after work beer' this was the next best thing. Lemon zest, clean persistent acid, refreshing.

Kiwi, star fruit and candied apple on the nose. Lemon zest with a tight acid finish feels a bit overdone.
