Grosset

Grosset Wines is synonymous with pioneering excellence in Australian winemaking. Jeffrey Grosset, the man behind the label, started his journey in the early 1980s, driven by a vision to craft wines that spoke honestly of the Clare Valley, South Australia. With a small, dedicated team, Grosset Wines has become a benchmark for quality, especially in the realm of Riesling, where Jeffrey is internationally acclaimed.

"Jeffrey Grosset wears the unchallenged mantle of Australia’s foremost riesling maker. Grosset’s pre-eminence is recognised both domestically and internationally..."
- James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

Jeffrey’s approach to winemaking is all about precision and purity. From his organically farmed vineyards to his hands-off approach in the winery, everything is done with one goal in mind: to capture the essence of variety and place in every bottle. This dedication to excellence is evident in every wine he produces, from the iconic Polish Hill Riesling to his meticulously crafted Gaia Cabernet Sauvignon.

"There can be no doubt that Gaia is among the great cabernet-based red wines of Australia... The wines are typified by their elegance. They are finer-boned, less brawny and less firm than typical Clare red wines..."
- Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

Grosset’s commitment to innovation has left an indelible mark on the Australian wine industry. Jeffrey played a key role in the adoption of screw caps, revolutionising wine preservation and setting a new standard for quality. His influence extends beyond Riesling, as he continues to explore new vineyard sites and embrace biodynamic practices, ensuring that Grosset Wines remain at the forefront of Australian winemaking.

Whether it’s the intensely age-worthy Polish Hill or Springvale Rieslings or the stunning Cabernet, Burgundian-inspired Pinot Noir or beautifully balanced Piccadilly Chardonnay, each Grosset wine is a reminder of Jeffrey’s unwavering pursuit of perfection. With a legacy built on challenging the status quo and a future that promises even more innovation, Grosset Wines stands as a true icon of Australian wine.

"Grosset is Australia's acknowledged king of Riesling... This magnificent single-vineyard bone-dry wine would make great current drinking or provide a real long-term classic for your cellar."
