Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 1997
As good as it gets if it’s riesling from Clare, but with almost an Alsace-like fleshiness and texture. There’s a distinctively minty and herbal underswell to the penetrative, perfumed and almost punchy aromas of citrus fruit, with an emerging suggestion of toastiness. Its juicy palate of lime juice, fresh apple and pear flavours culminates with the classic punctuation of Clare acidity. Superbly fine, concentrated and complete.

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.
