Grosset Springvale Riesling Clare Valley, South Australia – 2022

Springvale is one of Australia’s great Riesling vineyards, based high up in the Clare Valley on slate subsoils. This wine is rated “excellent” by Langton’s Classification of Australia’s top wines. T

Gentle lime and lemongrass aromatics, almost shy at present, precede a palate that, even at this early stage, shows evidence of its quality and impeccable balance. It has pristine lemon, lime flavours that are powerful, intense and bright. In the outstanding 2022 vintage, there’s extra concentration and generosity of flavour: more weight without any loss of finesse. Destined to be acknowledged as a great vintage!

Produced from riesling grown at Grosset Springvale Vineyard, an A-Grade Certified Organic and Biodynamic (ACO) vineyard.

“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.” 95+pts Wine Advocate
