According to Langton's Australian Fine Wine Guide, ‘The (Grosset) Watervale Riesling is a classic Clare style. If Polish Hill is power and intensity, Watervale is restraint and pure fruit. It evokes the expectation of a mouth-watering palate and delivers it.'
The 2009 vintage will mark the 29th consecutive vintage of Grosset Watervale riesling, referred to in recent years as ‘Springvale’ after the estate owned vineyard. With its listing as one of the 'Top 5 Most Collected Australian White Wines' by Wine Ark plus the reaffirmation of its 'Excellent' rating by Langtons, both in August this year, Grosset Springvale appears to have finally arrived. One thing the 2009 vintage shows in particular is that it continues to resemble the Polish Hill more than ever before, certainly in terms of quality and finesse. The 2009 vintage appears to have outstanding potential. Certainly, Grosset is grinning quietly.
The 2009 Grosset Springvale is quite closed and restrained at present, has pure intense lemon juice and lime flavours with slatey, minerally notes, is powerful, tight and steely with taut, dry, mouth-puckering acidity that lingers. It is fine and succulent with a zesty persistence that takes the wine deep and long.
