2022 Grosset Springvale Riesling

Brilliant water like core with a greenish tinge to the outskirts. Blossoming out of the glass are lime and citrus aromas followed by some orange rind, chalky talc and steely mineral notes. Intense lime, citrus and orange rind flavours burst across the palate underscored by crunchy acidity. Distinct chalky talc like characters, wet steel and flinty minerals ensue. Finishes dry and scrumptious with a long powerful aftertaste.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 12.9%

Certified organic and biodynamic. A high-tension, fragrant Springvale release. Bright, floral perfume of lime blossom, ozone, blackcurrant and green apple. A strong spectrum of citrus flavours are the currency here: lemon, lime and a squirt of pulpy grapefruit zing with a faintly yeasty, almond-like character to finish. Quiet complexity and vitality are writ large here. Excellent. Drink by 2040.

Coiled. That's what this 2022 Springvale Riesling is. It's like a compressed spring, waiting for release. The fruit is from the Springvale vineyard and shows just how GOOD Australian Riesling is. This is textural and tight, with springboards of fruit blossom, chalk, pith and zest queued up. This is a wine that needs some time to emerge from itself, but it promises to be a superstar: Grosset has managed to wedge in some restraint and some austerity into the folds of the voluminous Clare fruit. Yikes. Awesome. Drink 2022 - 2042.

Curiously, in 2022, I feel the Springvale is less approachable in youth than the Polish Hill. Usually, of course, it’s the other way round.
Very intense and concentrated flavour. A bomb of lime and green apple, some floral/lily perfume, a fine white pepper dusty texture, very coiled up and firm, a whisper of aniseed, maybe, and a very long finish. Unusually tight and stony for a Watervale! An outstanding vintage for this wine. Drink 2024 - 2042.
