Description

Geoffrey Grosset's 35th Polish Hill riesling harvest arrived early. The vintage, "was mild and early. Starting February 8 following a very mild December and even cooler than average January, vintage was not only the most compressed, but also the earliest in 35 years", writes Grosset. The cool season produced small, thick-skinned berries, yielding an equivalent of two bottles per vine, he says. Those small berries produced a riesling of extraordinary concentration, but in the most delicate, refined way imaginable – characteristics suggested by the lovely aroma and confirmed by the powerful, fine, luscious, absolutely bone-dry palate. This is as good as Australian riesling gets at present – though Tasmania may one day throw down a challenge, albeit in a different style.
