Expert Reviews

"Light to medium yellow-green; a very fragrant bouquet with a distinct minerally edge to the herb and spice fruit. The palate is intense but fine, with tremendous grip and length to the finish; tighter and less evolved than the Watervale, but will literally flower with time in bottle."

Date Tasted: 1st Nov 1997

Rating 96 - James Halliday - Published on 20 Jul 2011, Australian Wine Companion

"Tasted blind. Relatively deep copper. Quite evolved nose – is this an old Australian? Tingly, exciting on the palate. Definitely in another age than the other wines, but good. Well made. Just don't hang on to it."

Rating 18 - Jancis Robinson, 21st Oct 2004

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Aroma

As good as it gets if it's riesling from Clare, but with almost an Alsace-like fleshiness and texture. There's a distinctively minty and herbal underswell to the penetrative, perfumed and almost punchy aromas of citrus fruit, with an emerging suggestion of toastiness.

Palate

Its juicy palate of lime juice, fresh apple and pear flavours culminates with the classic punctuation of Clare acidity.

Superbly fine, concentrated and complete.

Winery Profile

Grosset Polish Hill is a single site wine from the Polish Hill vineyard, planted at 460 metres above sea level on sandy loam over shallow clay with underlying gravel, shale and slate. It has been made each year since 1981.

The 'Polish Hill' sits comfortably at the zenith of Australian riesling production as it presents its 30th vintage to the market place.

The wines have incredible perfume and fruit purity, the lime/floral fruit profile balanced by a fine cut of acidity. This long-lived beautifully aromatic and concentrated wine does much to define great Clare Valley Riesling.

Cellar Condition

Provenance; “Place of origin; derivation”

  • The history of the ownership of an object, especially when documented or authenticated. Used for Artworks, Antiques, and Wine.
  • The records or documents authenticating such an object or the history of its ownership.

Whenever you buy wine there is an inherent risk, as wine is a perishable good regardless of whether it is sealed under cork or screwcap. At GraysOnline we minimise the risk to you by providing as much information as possible regarding the provenance of the wine we sell.

We take the time to individually inspect each bottle and photograph it so you know exactly what you are buying. All Private Cellar wine stored at GraysOnline is kept in a temperature controlled wine storage area. Any wine that doesn’t meet our quality standards will not be sold.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 5 star designation are recognised as being of proven quality provenance, our team has verified that the wine has been stored correctly from original purchase straight from the winery, documentation, where possible, has been sighted and cellaring conditions have been inspected. This wine generally comes from only the best and most respected of wine collectors in Australia.

★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 4 star designation have been cellared correctly as verified by the current owners. In general these wines have been purchased from retailers or traders and stored in cellared conditions from original purchase.

★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 3 star designation are in good condition when we inspect and we are able to confirm some cellaring conditions but we are unable to verify all ownership and storage conditions of their history.

A wine displaying no stars doesn’t mean that there is a problem with the wine, it simply means that we have been unable to verify provenance, however a quality image is always available for the purchaser to make their own purchasing decisions.

Private Cellar wine is wine which has been stored for aging purposes in a Private Cellar.

Storing the wine and allowing it to age has the potential to improve the quality of the wine. While wine is perishable and capable of deteriorating, storing the wine can alter the aroma, colour, mouthfeel and taste of the wine in a way that may be more pleasing to the taster.
