Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2013 Alea Riesling presents pronounced aromas of yuzu zest, lemon juice and lime cordial with lilting nuances of honeyed peaches and spiced apple slices. Off-dry with a barely detectable touch of sweetness, the palate gives a lot of citrus and apple intensity at this youthful stage plus shows beautiful poise and a good long finish. Drink it now to 2025+.

Wine Spectator
Bright and vivid, with lively acidity underpinning the fresh peach and pineapple fruit, finishing with taut structure, lingering well. Drink now through 2020.

Jeffrey Grosset, owner and founder, has always been an innovator, challenging tradition and questioning accepted practices. He campaigned to institute the legal integrity of the Riesling grape in Australia, was a leading proponent for the introduction of screwcap closures and privately funded research into the subject.
Grosset Wines’ philosophy has remained steadfast over thirty years. The emphasis is on purity of fruit. The estate vineyards, which are ACO certified organic, are hand tended and each bunch of grapes is harvested at optimum ripeness. The winemaking process is gentle and uncomplicated. With dedication, discipline and the application of knowledge garnered through decades of experience, the result is the finest expression of variety and place.
