Springvale Clare Valley Riesling
Clare Valley, Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia, Australia
Grosset — Springvale Riesling 2024
Clare Valley, South Australia 🇦🇺
Overview
A bone-dry, terroir-driven Riesling from the elevated Springvale vineyard in Clare Valley, delivering piercing acidity, mineral tension, and uncompromising precision. Crafted in Grosset’s signature ultra-pure style, this wine showcases the region’s limestone-driven intensity and long-lived structure.
Aromas & Flavors
Crushed lime, green apple skin, lemon pith, and wet stone leap from the glass with striking clarity. Subtle white blossom and faint herbal tones add lift. The palate is razor-sharp and tightly wound, driven by citrus oil, saline minerality, and chalky texture, finishing long, dry, and electrically clean.
Mouthfeel
Ultra-dry, linear, and tightly coiled with mouthwatering acidity that literally pulls saliva back onto the palate. Light-bodied yet intensely focused, the wine delivers relentless drive without any softness or residual sweetness, showcasing pure structural tension.
Food Pairings
Oysters with lemon. Ceviche or crudo. Sushi and sashimi. Thai lime and chili dishes. Fresh goat cheese. Simply grilled white fish.
Verdict
A thrilling expression of Clare Valley Riesling at its most uncompromising: precise, mineral, and brutally honest. Not a crowd-pleaser wine, this is a terroir statement built for purity lovers and long-term aging potential.
Did You Know?
Clare Valley’s high elevation and limestone soils are responsible for some of the world’s most age-worthy dry Rieslings, often developing toast, honey, and kerosene complexity after a decade or more in bottle, despite starting life razor-sharp and austere.
🍷 Personal Pick
This is the driest Riesling I’ve tasted in recent years, intensely palate-cleansing with an unforgettable mineral finish. A true acid lover’s wine and a masterclass in site expression. Not gentle… but deeply compelling.
