2025 Grosset Polish Hill Riesling

About The WIne

Most Collected Riesling – Australia’s Most Collected Wines 2024, Wine Ark

A Polish Hill for the ages – wonderfully aromatic and intensely fragrant, this 2025 vintage delivers full-throttle power while maintaining the vineyard’s signature finesse. Pure lime juice intensity tingles and electrifies the mid-palate, supported by characteristic slate-driven minerality and bone-dry structure. The wine’s impressive length reveals layers of citrus complexity with that signature lingering finish Polish Hill devotees treasure. This is a white wine that delights in its youth – fresh, bright, and immediately captivating – yet possesses the mineral backbone to age gracefully for decades. The marriage of immediate pleasure and long-term potential makes this vintage particularly special, representing one of the finest expressions from this legendary Clare Valley vineyard.

Cellar? ‘As long as you like’ says Jeff – up to 20 years, or drink now.

Reviews

"The weight of the palate here feels special. In fact the presence of this riesling, which is essentially frisky and, at that, only a few months old, is pretty remarkable. It tastes of stones, bath salts, florals and citrus, a gunmetal aspect lurking within. The purity of the fruit here, and the power of it, and the chalky, stony impression of the finish, all served in the context of flavour-filled, mouthwatering acidity: it’s all as delicious as it is a statement on quality. Superb release."

96 Points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review:

"Quite pale green-yellow in the glass, restrained and reserved on the nose with pristine lemon blossom and steely mineral aromas. The palate opens with again reserved flavours but great intensity, an impression of ripe-fruit sweetness in the centre before a finish of yeasty/pastry and lime/citrus flavours, white pepper and slaty acidity. Long carry, cleansing and appetisingly more-ish aftertaste. Best cellar for a year or two, then drink for a decade and a half." 18 Jul 2025

97 Points - Winsor Dobbin, Wine of the Week:

"Get your orders in now. The 2025 vintage of Grosset Polish Hill Riesling maintains its place as Australia's best - and much sought-after - dry riesling. It will be released on September 1 and will probably be sold out soon after. Jeffrey Grosset reports that "pristine fruit culminated in exceptional wines" and I certainly fell in love with the precision and panache of this flagship Clare Valley riesling from a year that Grosset says shows the full benefits of biodynamics in the vineyard. You'll find the classic acid-driven lemon, lime, grapefruit notes, but also some impressive vitality and texture. Pair this will the best fresh crayfish, scallops or prawns you can find and serve simply, so both wine and food shine. Delightfully delicious. 97/100." (July 26, 2025)
