    97 Points Erin Larkin

    Grosset Polish Hill is produced exclusively from the eight-hectare estate-owned Polish Hill Vineyard  (certified organic) in the Clare Valley. The gently sloping site, selected and planted by Grosset more than two decades ago, is comprised of silt and shallow shales over a thin crust of clay and gravel. This overlays a bed of blue slate, estimated to be around 500-million-years old.

    This ‘hard rock’ site was originally part of a larger estate but was considered to be of limited agricultural value and so was sold off. The vines here struggle to draw nutrients from the soil, so the bunches and berries are small, and the fruit flavours lean and austere. Indeed, this vineyard exemplifies how old-rock profiles can contribute to a wine’s character.

    There’s an initial shyness on the nose, not surprising given the history of Grosset Polish Hill; and more restrained than some recent releases. This initial restraint gives way to a slowly evolving, yet increasingly intense, pure lime perfume. The palate is tight yet features amazingly intense lime pith and lime juice flavours while the impressive weight and steely backbone are characteristic of the style. It finishes crisp, clean and mouth-puckering: the length is staggering.

    Ageing Potential: 6-15 years, up to 20 years
    Source: Grosset Polish Hill Vineyard (ACO certified organic)
    Fruit Flavours: Intense citrus and cool slate characters
    Profile: Bone dry (zero fermentable sugar), intense and powerful with persistent length
    Fining: Nil- suitable for vegans and vegetarians

    “This is a wine that is overlaid on itself: citrus fruit, jasmine florals and pith are draped over white pepper, jasmine tea and sea salt; these layers are fixed to the firm acid and phenolic structure that is the flesh and body of this wine.  This is a tightly packed, savoury, serious, searing riesling with authority and gravitas.  The length of flavour is something to behold.  There is a lightness and a purity in 2020 that confirms life and lift – where the ’19 had a warmth and sunshine in it – this is dappled shade and cool breeze.” – 97 Points Erin Larkin
