GrossetSpringvale Riesling 2008
About this product
Grosset Springvale Riesling takes it's name from the vineyard located in the sub-region of Watervale. 'Springvale' emphases the fact that the grapes are entirely sourced from the single vineyard owned by Jeff Grosset. The 2008 vintage is considered to be one of the best since 2002 for Clare Valley Riesling, with this release looking increasingly closer in quality terms to the 'Polish Hill' than it did in its first 20 years. Fresh, intense lime juice flavours with almost earthy minerally notes just before the long dry finish.

A slightly more effusive bouquet than the Polish Hill, the expressive lime juice fruit flavours likewise making this wine ready right from the word go, without compromising its ability to age.

Terrific nose, terrific mid palate, and then a good finish if not necessarily a great one. It tastes of brilliant apple and lime and while of course it’s racily, bracingly acidic it has a chalky, almost grippy mouthfeel – every bit a positive in my book. It has a substantial finish, rindy and intense, and it is persistent but not extraordinarily so. Early and mid-term it should drink impressively.
