The Grosset Polish Hill Clare Valley Riesling 2022 is a wine that not only impresses with its tasting notes but also with its meticulous production and aging process. This Riesling is crafted from biodynamically grown grapes, reflecting a commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly viticulture.
The grapes are handpicked from the Polish Hill vineyard, which is renowned for its unique terroir. The vineyard’s slate and shale soils contribute to the wine’s distinctive mineral character. The winemaking process is carried out with great precision, ensuring that the purity and intensity of the fruit are preserved. The grapes undergo a gentle pressing, and the juice is fermented at cool temperatures to retain the vibrant acidity and fresh fruit flavours.
After fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for several months. This aging process enhances the wine’s texture and complexity, adding subtle layers of flavour and a creamy mouthfeel. The use of screw caps ensures that the wine remains fresh and free from oxidation, allowing it to develop gracefully over time.

The wine’s high acidity and robust structure provide the backbone for long-term aging, while the complex interplay of fruit and mineral notes promises to develop further nuances with time
