Grosset Springvale Riesling 2026 (750ml)

2nd Most Collected Riesling – Australia’s Most Collected Wines 2024, Wine Ark

Riesling grown biodynamically at Grosset Springvale Vineyard (Watervale sub-region), established in 2001 (25 years old).

Hand harvested, free run juice, with no fining. This site has been a surprise. It was chosen as a typical, if cooler, Watervale site – thin red loam over limestone. Only years later did the vines’ roots reach ancient slate bedrock beneath; a possible explanation for the minerality evident in recent releases.

Lifted, elegant intensity with quintessential Watervale character – lime blossom, lemon and lime citrus, with minerality most likely from roots reaching slate. Balanced lime pith and brightness deliver structure, carrying to a persistent finish. Biodynamic farming nurtured near-oasis conditions, delivering grapes from limestone and slate. The result: generosity and elegance.

Unfined – vegan and vegetarian friendly

Reviews:

Full of precision and tension with green apple, sliced lemon, pepper, apple skin, pear blossom and wet stone. The palate is intense and mineral-driven with a tight line of acidity and plenty of verve and nervy tension. Quite expressive in its youth but with a long life ahead in bottle.

97 Points Ryan Montgomery, James Suckling US

This is peak and pitch-perfect Grosset Springvale. Tension meets an approachable juiciness. It's redolent of all the citrus fruits, from yellow to green to orange, with green apple and blackcurrant leaf. The flavours are similarly set, with a chalky minerality chiming in. Deliciousness abounds. All of this with a quiet power, a grace, and exceptional length. In essence, it delivers on the promise of quality while nailing down drinkability. Something to strive for.
