Often the Grosset Polish Hill doesn’t live up to its billing as perhaps Australia’s finest dry Riesling but with this 2017 it probably exceeds expectations. It is simply fabulous. Some ripe lusciousness to the mid palate amid lime and lemon notes, but finishes bone dry. My first of 4 bottles so I will enjoy the journey over the next 5+ years if I can keep my hands off it. HH said it is shaping up as one of the greatest Polish Hill Rieslings.

Nose of green apples and gooseberries. Palate displays a good core of solid fruit. Good acid, followed by grapefruit and limes.
USQ Wines in NYC put on a great free tasting. Sign up and check em out if you live in the city.

Arguably Australia's best Riesling but way too young and needs to settle down. Not doing much typicity yet but it will eventually

Riesling character petrol. Fresh acidity. Very fresh especially the afterkick.

Light silvery, greeny colour. Good intensity with preserved lemon and kaffir lime profile. Plenty of acidity to aid a long future evolution over which it should gain in density and nuance.
