Another exceptional Clare Valley vintage has produced a downright beautiful, textured and highly focused expression of Australia's most famed Riesling from the master, Jeffrey Grosset. The nose is more open and fruit forward than the previous vintage, bursting with freshly sliced lime, guava, heady florals and streaks of stoney minerals. The palate is bone dry, slippery and fresh, with bright limey fruit and an endlessly long mouthwatering finish. Drink now–2039.

Glistening, green-hued straw. Vibrant, sharply focused citrus fruit, floral, kerosene and succulent herb aromas show superb clarity, and a powerful mineral topnote builds as the wine opens up. Stains the palate with incisive grapefruit pith, green apple, fennel and honeysuckle flavors that show impressive depth while betraying zero excess weight. The extremely long, penetrating finish strongly echoes the floral and mineral notes and shows a refreshingly bitter quinine edge. -- Josh Raynolds
