Grosset Noble Riesling 1997

Superb, fragrant botrytised riesling with orange rind, pear, apple, lemon zest and a whiff of apricot. By no means over-botrytised as so many can be, this is a concentrated, succulent dessert wine with an accent on pure riesling fruit and a refreshingly clean and lingering finish.

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.
