Enjoyed on a ‘wine tour at home’ whilst slight restrictions are in place here in South Australia. We can still enjoy 30th birthdays 🎂🍾

Medium bodied and fruity. Red apples. Ripe citrus.

Mid palate full of gummy bears!

Long, broad acidic finish.

2017 - beautiful lemon meringue and floral nose. The salinity and petrol are well integrated into beautiful minerality.

Jeffrey Grosset is regarded by many as making Australia’s best Riesling. If not certainly in the top 3. This is his drink now off dry cuvée - different to his 2 top cuvees Springvale and Polish Hill which are built to last for decades. This has aromas and palate of peach and grapefruit with a little residual sweetness and minerality. An excellent accompaniment to Asian food - in this case Thai.

I'm slightly partial to this higher RS offering from Grosset.
So much flavour and depth.
Balance is key.

Brilliant aromatics, but lacking in texture and depth.

Lemon meringue, lemon-lime Gatorade salinity, medium acidity of a grapefruit. Clear winner in the Italian-Aussie head-to-head.
