Grosset Polish Hill Clare Valley Riesling is an exceptional Australian wine portraying elegance and finesse. It's notable for its vibrant, lime-infused flavours, layered with mineral undertones. The tightly wound structure provides a tremendous sensation of freshness. This wine bewitches the palate with its remarkable intensity and an almost electric level of acidity, yielding a long and dry finish that lingers impressively. Derived from organic vineyards, its consistency and refined balance truly speak to the quality of the Clare Valley. Over time, it develops richer, honeyed complexities, making it a superb choice for long-term cellaring. A delight for every wine connoisseur's palate.

Tasting Notes

Golden in colour, this Riesling opens up with an intense nose of lime juice and lemongrass. The palate is lean and structured, combined with a slight minerality and limey finish. An excellently complex, refreshing wine that bodes well in its youth but has significant ageing potential as well.
