This wine is enticing, with aromas of delicate honeydew, nectarine followed by notes of white peach and cashew. The palate is intense, and focused, with an elegant, vibrant finish. Drinking beautifully now with significant ageing potential as well.

The vineyards are situated in the Piccadilly Valley of the Adelaide Hills, a very cool sub-region. Given that the replanting of vineyards in the Adelaide Hills has only occurred since the early 1980s, their full potential is only just emerging. The south-facing site has predominantly mottled, coarse-grained yellow clays and quartz-rich soil over sandstone.

Jeffrey Grosset’s love of Riesling began at 15 when his father came home with a bottle to share with the family. This bottle was enough to inspire a young Jeffrey to enrol in the local agricultural college and complete qualifications in both Agriculture and Oenology by the age of 21. After honing his craft in Australia and Germany, he bought an old milk depot in the Clare Valley town of Auburn, founding his eponymous winery in 1981. Since then, through great skill and exceptional vineyard management, this old milk depot has been transformed into one of Australia’s finest wineries.
