With its first vintage in 2012, ‘Alea’ is the most recent of the Grosset rieslings, the result of three years of painstaking experimentation.
The Grosset Alea 2016 has bright voluminous aromas of white flowers and kaffir lime and a generous, almost fleshy mid-palate with potent lemongrass and lime flavours. Almost dry, the palate is succulent and long with a tight fine structure and exhuberant sweeping acidity on a clean dry finish.
This may be the Grosset white for a range of Asian dishes, or as an aperitif.
Ageing Potential: First vintage 2012 so as yet unknown, however probably 15 years
