Sourced from his biodynamically farmed “hard rock” vineyard in Clare, where silt and shale sit over a bed of ancient blue slate, the vines naturally struggle, yielding tiny berries of remarkable intensity. The result, year after year, is one of the country’s most profound white wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 release is already being spoken of as one of Grosset’s finest. A cool, slow-ripening season has given pristine fruit, with piercing citrus purity wrapped around a mineral, slate-driven core.

Sourced from Grosset’s certified organic and biodynamic vineyard at Watervale, Springvale shows why this subregion remains one of the great homes of Australian Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe site itself is unusual for Watervale: thin red loam over limestone, underpinned by slate bedrock. That geology, combined with meticulous farming, consistently produces fruit with clarity, lift, and a touch more approachability than Polish Hill. In 2025, a warm, early season was kept in check by Grosset’s biodynamic practices, which helped the vines hold their balance and deliver pristine fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is immediately expressive - lemon and lime zest leap from the glass, with floral edges and just a flicker of fennel. The palate has that signature Watervale juiciness, layered with citrus oil, chalky minerality and a taut, dry finish. It’s mouthwatering and refreshing now, yet with the depth and structure to reward 10–12 years in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many collectors, Springvale is the perfect counterpoint to Polish Hill: equally precise, but with softer fruit and a little more generosity upfront. If Polish Hill is the brooding intellectual, Springvale is the open-armed charmer – and we love having both side by side each vintage. The 2025 is a classic Grosset release, showing why Jeffrey Grosset remains Australia’s master of Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This wine is only a few months old but already, it offers a lot.

Back in 2012, Jeffrey Grosset noticed that one particular corridor of his Rockwood Vineyard in Watervale consistently produced fruit with strikingly high natural acidity. Instead of folding it into Springvale, he kept it separate, experimenting with a touch of residual sugar to see how far he could push balance. The result was Alea – a Riesling that sits in a fascinating middle ground between bone-dry and off-dry, and a wine that’s become a real favourite of ours in the Grosset line-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 release is another beauty. It opens with lime zest, lemon blossom and white flowers, before rolling into a palate that’s gently textural – grapefruit and lime cordial with just a whisper of stone fruit richness. What makes Alea so compelling is the tension: that interplay between acid and fruit sweetness that stretches the finish long, fine, and refreshingly dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe love how versatile this wine is at the table. It’s a knockout with fragrant, spicy dishes – Thai, Vietnamese, even a plate of sashimi with a dab of wasabi – but it’s also just a joy to drink on its own.
