Wine Advocate, October 2022, Score: 97
The Polish Hill Riesling is muscular and defined in its structure and is routinely possessed of an authority and grace straight off the bat. This 2022 Polish Hill Riesling is mineral and fine, but phenolic and taut, too. The acidity creates tension and life in the mouth, and despite the wine being pristine, it is chalky and pithy, too. The Polish Hill Riesling has a decorated legacy and is prized for its longevity in the cellar. There have been mutterings of similarities between 2022 and the great and fabled 2002 vintage, boding very well indeed for the future of this wine. Riesling mainlines the dirt and takes us to place. This is why we gravitate toward great wine, to be taken to dirt, vineyard and region. Drink 2022-2042.
Region
Clare Valley
Clare Valley is the most northerly vineyard area in South Australia with a continental climate, which gives warm summer days and cool nights. This climate combined with differences in soil, elevation, degree of slope and aspect, means that many grape varieties exist. Riesling is the most important variety and Clare Valley Riesling is very distinctive: firm and dry, sometimes austere is youth, but usually with lime flavours that become toasty with age. Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec are also prevalent in the region but are more plummy and less alcoholic than their Barossa equivalent.
