Grosset Alea Off-Dry Riesling 2020
Perhaps AustraliaÕs driest off-dry riesling, it unfolds a pleasing if rather simple bouquet of citrus, stonefruit and apple blossom. Round and juicy, becoming quite broad and oily down the palate, it becomes more mineral and slatey down the palate, culminating in a savoury and quite textural finish of modest sweetness.

Grosset
Grosset is rightly known the world over for the spectacular quality and charm of its two key individual vineyard rieslings, the Polish Hill and the Springvale, both of which are graded with a Five Star rating, the only pair of rieslings from a single maker to achieve this level of recognition. While Grosset's current releases are all of genuine style and quality, I'm paying particular attention to the 2012 Gaia cabernet blend, which is by far the best wine under this label for many a year.
