Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2014

Professional Ratings

  The Grosset Rieslings rock and underscore a realization that this grape deserves attention from the wine world. Not just from Germany or France, but from the magnificent Clare Valley of Australia. The 2014 Grosset Polish Hill Riesling hits all of the high notes. Perfectly suited with shellfish! Light straw color; amazing aromas of zesty green apple and mineral; medium bodied, lively with good textures, yet still angular in many ways on the palate; dry, fine acidity, well balanced; super fine green apple and slate flavors; long finish, crisp rewarding aftertaste.

  The Riesling Polish Hill presents a very attractive nose filled with citrus and floral aromas set off by notes of herbs, fennel, coriander seed and a touch of wet pebbles. Light-bodied and dry, the palate reveals intense flavors enlivened by seamless acidity and a long finish with a mineral note.

  Jeffrey Grosset helped make Clare Valley Rieslig world-famous with this bottling from a high-elevation site (1,500 feet), where silt and shale soils over clay and gravel challenge the vines to prodcue small, concentrated berries and tiny bunches. His other vineyards produce 2.5 bottles per vine; Polis Hill produces two bottles ber vine. That compression translates into a wine that lives for years, one that shows littel of itself in its youth. The 2014 vintage is more forthcoming than some, with a cool entry in which is it is possible to feel the layers of flavor, if not to taste them. It lasts on a mouthwatering lime and mineral savor, as if the sun is about the come out from behind the clouds, then snaps back into hiding.

  Lean, lithe, sleek and focused, with lively acidity playing against apple, clove, sassafras and floral flavors, dancing lightly through the long finish. Drink now through 2024.
