These unforgiving conditions produce small, concentrated berries of remarkable intensity, translating directly into a wine of shimmering clarity and tensile strength. It is a Riesling that speaks fluently of its origin, taut, mineral and deeply expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"1307\"\u003eThe Polish Hill site was hand-selected and planted by Jeffrey Grosset in 1996 after extensive geological research. The vineyard’s shallow shales and fine silt sit above a crust of clay and gravel, which in turn rests upon a base of 500 million-year-old slate. The vines are close-planted and low-yielding, producing an average of only two bottles per vine. Three Riesling clones — two German and one rare local — contribute subtle layers of complexity. Each block is hand-tended to account for natural vigour variations, ensuring even ripening and precise flavour development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"1818\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eWinemaking at Grosset is guided by restraint and clarity. The fruit is harvested by hand at peak ripeness, whole-bunch pressed and fermented cool with natural yeasts in stainless steel to preserve varietal character. The 2025 vintage reveals remarkable focus and purity, combining tightly wound citrus and mineral tones with understated power. Released in limited quantities, it represents the pinnacle of Australian Riesling, a wine built on discipline, transparency and an unwavering connection to the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"500\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"881\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"1035\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"884\" data-end=\"892\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"895\"\u003e– Floral and mineral lift\u003cbr data-start=\"920\" data-end=\"923\"\u003eAromas of lemon blossom, kaffir lime, mandarin oil and crushed slate with delicate white rose and green apple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1037\" data-end=\"1227\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1037\" data-end=\"1047\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1047\" data-end=\"1050\"\u003e– Focused and vibrant\u003cbr data-start=\"1071\" data-end=\"1074\"\u003ePure lime juice intensity drives the palate, layered with citrus, white peach and subtle spice.
