Star bright yellow gold. Inviting nose of green apple and citrus rind. Medium palate echoes the nose bolstered by firm acidity and adding layers of dried fruit, cement, and white pepper. Remarkably long finish continues the palate. Wonderful example of the citrusy Aussie style of Riesling. Excellent with any "white wine" fare, but pork or seafood dishes are particularly good. Drink now through 2036. — 2 years ago
Super solid. Would have guessed Watervale blind. Fresh lime acidity, a whiff of petrol fumes and honeysuckle — 7 years ago
Outstanding expression of Riesling, plenty of limes and floral notes, rich palate but still tight, long finish. — 6 years ago
At the time, 2015 was considered the vintage of the decade in the Clare Valley, delivering favourable conditions for all varieties. This wine feels buoyant, still showing a spring in its step, loaded with positive energy. — 2 years ago
Really lovely. Full of zest and life. Held a beautiful profile in the palate for absolutely ages (even when we had finished dinner and the bottle and while watching Collingwood. And if there's anything to put a bad taste in your mouth it would be Collingwood Football Club).
I still believe, for my palate, that Watervale/Springvale Grosset Rieslings drink better young, while the Polish Hills are better with age. — 3 years ago
Wonderful with Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks to the winemaker Alex Mackenzie for going through the trouble of shipping it to me through US customs. — 7 years ago
