Grosset Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2013
A pure, almost essential wine with delicate, intriguing complexity. Its lightly tropical fragrance of passionfruit, gooseberries, melon and lemon rind reveals slightly smoky, mineral and meaty undertones. Long and brightly lit, its superbly focused palate delivers a brilliantly vital, translucent expression of fruit underpinned by a fine dustiness, finishing with a brittle cut of lemony acidity.

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.
