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.

Here is a tasting pack of his highly-acclaimed 2024 release Rieslings - one of the finest trios to ever come out of the Grosset cellar.

• 2025 Grosset Polish Hill Riesling
• 2025 Grosset Springvale Riesling
• 2025 Grosset Alea Riesling

2025 Grosset Polish Hill Riesling

Jeffrey Grosset’s Polish Hill is not just a Clare Valley icon - it’s the benchmark against which Australian Riesling is measured. 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.

The 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. Lime juice, lemon blossom, green apple and white flowers glide across a palate that feels both delicate and commanding, finishing long and mouthwatering with that signature chalky line. There’s clarity and restraint in its youth, but also an underlying power that will see it evolve beautifully for decades.

Critics have been effusive: Huon Hooke lauds its "great intensity," Winsor Dobbin calls it "Australia’s best - and much sought-after - dry riesling," while Campbell Mattinson has suggested it's a "superb release" of the great Polish Hill Riesling.

For us, Polish Hill is as close as Australian Riesling gets to a yardstick. Every release adds to the legacy, and 2025 feels destined to be remembered as one of the greats. Drink now for its intensity and freshness, or cellar 20 years to watch one of Australia’s greatest wines reveal its full self.

2025 Grosset Springvale Riesling

If Polish Hill is Grosset’s steely, tightly wound Riesling, then Springvale is its more open and generous sibling but no less serious. 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.

The 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.

The 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.

For 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.

2025 Grosset Alea Riesling

We’ve always loved the story behind Alea. 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.

The 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.

We 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. For us, Alea shows Riesling’s range better than most Australian example: same grape, same region, yet a completely different personality to Springvale or Polish Hill.

"Is there some residual here? You’d barely know it. This is real craft, real understanding. This is an excellent riesling."
