Grosset is a distinguished winery located in Auburn, at the southern tip of the Clare Valley, South Australia. Established in 1981 by Jeffrey Grosset, the winery is renowned for producing exceptional Riesling and Cabernet blend wines that authentically reflect the region's unique terroir. They have four estate-owned, certified organic and biodynamic (ACO) vineyards and producing wines that consistently receive high praise from critics and wine enthusiasts alike.

Grosset Springvale is a 5.3-hectare high-altitude vineyard located within a larger estate in Watervale, Clare Valley. The Grosset Springvale Riesling is crafted exclusively from fruit grown in this vineyard.

Acquired by Grosset in 2000 and planted the following year, Springvale is a distinctive viticultural site, notable for its geology, elevated position, and relative isolation. Unlike typical sites in the sub-region, it features thin red loam topsoil over limestone, with vines that are deeply rooted into slate bedrock, an uncommon characteristic that contributes to the vineyard’s unique terroir.

Tasting Notes

"While there's grapefruit pith-like texture and a richness across the palate, it's also fresh and breezy in an appealing drink-now way. Builds with limes and spices, acidity is softer in profile and it finishes a touch short, but no complaints as to its appeal." Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion (2021).
