2022 Grosset G110 Riesling, Clare Valley

G110 is a single clone riesling. It's intense and drives with great energy, chalky pucker and a strong sense of minerality. It feels very pent up, so tightly wound, strong with lime juice, green apple tang and pink grapefruit zestiness, but all of that bound in this saline and talc-like crunch and chew. Aromatics are a little scarce at present, but you know the wine needs time and will open up gloriously. It leaves a little residual nuttiness/yeastiness with each sip and is pleasing in its faint savouriness. A lot going on here, and impressive from the first sip.

Sourced from the tiny plantings of the clone on the biodynamic Rockwood Vineyard.

Georgie Grosset is still perfectly happy to remind her Dad that she suggested the clone was so different from the other Grosset rieslings that it needed to be bottled separately.

Almost overwhelming, voluminous perfumes leap from the glass signifying that this is special. There's a generosity on the palate, too, expansive, even a touch dramatic, showing lemongrass and lemon drop flavours. There's a depth of flavour, a hint of herbs, perhaps coriander, cumin, sage giving depth to the limey flavours; a tingle on the mid-palate, and bright vibrant acidity which defines the finish.

Very limited
