Description
A prime example of Watervale Riesling, a sub-region of the Clare Valley, comes the Grosset Springvale Riesling.
This wine has shown to be the more approachable of the two dry Grosset Rieslings.
It is softer and lighter than then fuller Polish Hill.
Easy access Springvale, following a similar thread with 202 Polish Hill too.
Waxy texture with a juicy finish, lime cordial, floral things in scent and mouth perfume, a little bit of apple dunked in lemon juice and a starburst of grapefruit juice lending tightness and freshness while making you squint and flush warm under your eyes.
Touches of smoky mineral character? A little truffle note? Almost a candied mixed peel thing going on.
Bolder flavours, bigger mouthfeel, no dart-shaped precision here, but a pleasing, fleshier wine is here.
Intrigue.
