2024 Grosset, Polish Hill Riesling, Clare Valley, Australia
Description
Always a joy to taste, even in its infancy. The 2024 has a lovely expressive nose with melons and pears. These continue onto the palate and perhaps due to the age, meadow flowers coming through later upon taste. A little less citrus and lime than in previous vintages at this early stage but I am sure that will unfurl. With a crisp acidic and rapier sharp finish there is no question as to its pedigree and long life ahead of it. Very much a trope for a lot of wines but hand on heart, it will be difficult to resist in a few years and the temptation will only get greater.

Critics reviews
This is a benchmark in Australian Riesling and widely loved by collectors. The wine ages gracefully and slowly; the latent power that is stowed away on release is revealed in time, making this one of the greats in Australia. So here, the 2024 Polish Hill Riesling is thunderous and rolling in its intensity and energy. The citrus fruits gather speed over a grounding of crushed rocks and minerals, while the finish culminates in a sandstorm of flavor and texture. This is an excellent wine. It is fleshy and powerful, tightly coiled and salty. It's so good. 12.1% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Spicy, dried herb and nettle aromas, a faint whiff of pastry-like yeastiness, the palate crisp and refined, intense and long with penetrating qualities and real persistence. A ripping young riesling: all it needs is time.
