White Wine of the Year and Riesling of the Year!

Thanks to a cool season and biodynamic farming, Jeff Grosset proclaims 2024 as the most pristine fruit he has seen since he first planted in the Clare Valley in the early 1980s. By jove! Polish Hill 2024 is as desperately gorgeous as any of the highlights of (Grosset's) lauded career. Dainty white lily, granny smith apple and lemon blossom of pinpoint perfection rise in a dramatic crescendo over a powerful core of talcum powder structure, crystalline acidity and ancient slate texture, tracing a finish unrelenting for a full sixty seconds. It is at once lighter than air and yet possessing a resolute determination that sets a future in the cellar as enduring as the career of its maker. The essence of the Clare, time will most certainly reveal this to be one of the greatest in Grosset's 44 vintage history, and one of the finest Australian rieslings conjured yet. Drink 2024-2064 (40 Years)

Exceptional concentration of fruit flavour here. This is straight and direct but wow it has a charge to it. Lime, chalk, white flower and wet slate flavours storm through the palate in emphatic fashion. There’s an extra note to the finish that I can’t quite place but I’ll call it brine splashed on potpourri splashed on rocks. The longer I sit and taste this wine the more I think that this is a Grosset riesling for the ages.

This needs no introduction; safe to say, this is one of the most delicious young releases of this wine. Immediate appeal in abundant jasmine floral lift, green apple fruitiness, soft lime elements, ginger cake, blackcurrant touches and a wellspring of saline minerality. There's a juiciness, though strict ribbons of pulverised pumice and granitic mineral character find chew and pucker here, too. In all that, the intensity is somewhat dialled down while drinkability is through the roof. No matter, the character shifts each year in degree; it's a stellar wine, full of inimitable character and a finesse that Grosset does so well.

This is a benchmark in Australian Riesling and widely loved by collectors. The wine ages gracefully and slowly; the latent power that is stowed away on release is revealed in time, making this one of the greats in Australia. So here, the 2024 Polish Hill Riesling is thunderous and rolling in its intensity and energy. The citrus fruits gather speed over a grounding of crushed rocks and minerals, while the finish culminates in a sandstorm of flavor and texture. This is an excellent wine. It is fleshy and powerful, tightly coiled and salty. It's so good.

Spicy, dried herb and nettle aromas, a faint whiff of pastry-like yeastiness, the palate crisp and refined, intense and long with penetrating qualities and real persistence. A ripping young riesling: all it needs is time.

Wine of the Week – Purity, racy acidity, presence and panache. The thrilling new vintage of Australia's most collected riesling has just landed, and it is a stunner. Jeff Grosset, master of organics, biodynamics and consistency, has crafted a super wine from a cool year with lemon/lime zest, green apple, grapefruit and zingy minerality playing starring roles. There is a linearity to this wine that sets it apart and it has immediate appeal, but will cellar for decades in the right conditions. I'd pair this with kingfish sashimi. Serve cool, but not too cold, and give it few minutes to breathe. A star turn in anyone's language – a Mahler symphony of pristine excellence. 97.5 points from me. It is unfined and vegan friendly, should that concern
