Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2023 is a delightful surprise with its vibrant and exuberant aromatics. The nose is filled with delightful floral notes, accompanied by hints of zesty lime juice and a subtle touch of beeswax. The dominant scent, however, is that of white flowers, which adds a playful and joyful element to the wine. On the palate, this Riesling reveals its true character. It is tightly structured, with fine and precise flavors that demand attention. At its core, there is a pure and unevolved thread of lime juice, which provides a refreshing and invigorating sensation. Despite its youthful nature, this wine already displays depth of flavour and intensity, hinting at the potential for these qualities to develop further as the wine ages. The aromatics of this Grosset Polish Hill Riesling are a testament to its exceptional quality and promise. With its riotous aromas and impressive palate, this wine has all the hallmarks of a truly remarkable aged wine.

Grosset’s Polish Hill is renowned for its reserve, particularly on release, but this rendition has both its quality and its fruit intensity sitting front and centre. This really does announce itself. Flavours of lemon, lime, grapefruit, chalk and citrus blossom explode onto the palate in the most commanding and authoritative of ways, and then extend (mighty) lengthily through the finish. It’s a lay down misére. It’s scented, intense and sustained. It’s a wine of great beauty. Drink: 2023-2042. Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, 96 Points.
