Grosset Alea Off-Dry Riesling 2022
$45.00
Heady and floral – tasted at three years of age – this off-dry riesling is finding a happy place. Toasty, lemony and developing a whiff of smokiness backed by a hint of spice, it’s long, pristine and intensely flavoured, unfolding a palate of just enough flesh and roundness to counter its length, focus and faintly saline finish. It’s underpinned by notes of mineral and there’s an edgy slatey aspect to its texture. Artfully balanced, this is a delightful riesling whose marginal sweetness is barely noticeable given the quality of its balance.

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.
