Grosset Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 1997

Superbly generous, fleshy and succulent, this label again confirms its status amongst the best of its kind in Australia. Ahead of a near-perfect mouthfeel is a complex, nutty nose with apple and lemon influences, while the palate is close to oily with its tangy lemony texture. Much about the wine suggests a light oak influence, such is its complexity, a suggestion entirely refuted by the label itself.

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.
