Wine Advocate, October 2022, Score: 95+
Coiled. That's what this 2022 Springvale Riesling is. It's like a compressed spring, waiting for release. The fruit is from the Springvale vineyard and shows just how GOOD Australian Riesling is. This is textural and tight, with springboards of fruit blossom, chalk, pith and zest queued up. This is a wine that needs some time to emerge from itself, but it promises to be a superstar: Grosset has managed to wedge in some restraint and some austerity into the folds of the voluminous Clare fruit. Yikes. Awesome. 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.
