The Grosset Springvale Riesling stands as an exemplary representation of Watervale Riesling, a premier sub-region within the Clare Valley. Recognized for its approachability compared to the drier Grosset Riesling counterpart, Polish Hill, Springvale is characterized by a softer fruit profile and a more floral aromatic essence. While it certainly ages well, Springvale excels in providing a delightful early drinking experience, with the added promise of evolving gracefully over the next decade. The aromas of gentle lime and lemongrass, though somewhat reserved at present, precede a palate that already exhibits signs of its exceptional quality and impeccable balance. The flavors are marked by pristine lemon and intense lime, showcasing power and brightness. In this vintage, there's a notable increase in concentration and flavor generosity, adding weight without sacrificing finesse. This release is poised to be celebrated as a standout vintage.

Jeffrey Grosset is widely acclaimed as Australia's top riesling producer, both domestically and internationally. However, his expertise extends beyond riesling, encompassing chardonnay and pinot noir from the Adelaide Hills, as well as Gaia, a Bordeaux blend from the Clare Valley, and Apiana Fiano and Nereus, a shiraz-based wine with a hint of nero d'Avola. Despite his unassuming demeanor, Jeffrey possesses a determined resolve. Notably, Grosset's four estate-owned vineyards in the Clare Valley are certified organic and biodynamic
