- "A benchmark Riesling from the master of the variety- it's intensely citrusy with a long- dry finish. Great with stir-fried crab or Japanese food but be quick as both Grosset rieslings sell out fast." Winsor Dobbin Sydney Herald 'Splurge' 27 September 2007 "Compelling evidence of why Grosset is considered the king of Aussie Riesling. like a fresh spring morning in a lime orchard- with superb balance and length. 94 points." Ken Gargett Brisbane Courier Mail Qweekend 27 October 2007 "Always good drinking now as the zippy acid and floral orange blossom- read more...and musky aromatic match to scallops very well- but tasted side by side the 1998 is far superior due to the complexity granted by the age in bottle." - Wine House & guests- 2007. Grosset Jeffrey's being voted the Inaugural Volvo/ Wine Magazine Australian Winemaker of the Year and International Riesling Winemaker of the Year at the Riesling Summit II- Hamburg- both in 1998- to being listed as one of the fifty most influential winemakers in the world in Wine and Spirits - US- in 2005. In February 2001 the same magazine published Rod Smith's tribute: Jeffrey Grosset's Polish Hill riesling ... tastes as though the grape juice were made of water that was filtered through layers of glacial gravel- slate and shale - which- in fact- it was (not incidentally- the vines are not grafted- but growing on their own roots). Producing the terroir-driven Polish Hill riesling has for the past two decades been a journey toward enlightenment for Jeffrey Grosset ...' GrossetGrosset WatervaleIf the Polish Hill is power and intensity- the sub-regional Watervale Riesling resonates pure fruit with mouthwatering slatey acidity. The fruit derives from a hill top site with a high exposure to sunlight. The thin topsoils are red loams interspersed with shale over limestone and the vines are deeply rooted into slate/shale bedrock. The wine is vinified in the same manner as the Polish Hill Riesling. No pressings are used in the wine. Grosset says- "making Riesling is the purest form of winemaking our options are very restricted. No oak- no malo-lactic and usually no extended lees contact or grape-skin contact is employed. A disciplined winemaking approach is needed to retain the inherent fruit characters and expression of individual vineyard site." Andrew Caillard MW (hide)
