Producer Information

Grosset Wines is a wine producer in Auburn, at the southern tip of the Clare Valley, South Australia. It was founded in 1981 by Jeffrey Grosset, and since then has set out to make high-quality wines from a range of grape varieties, but in particular from Riesling.There are 20 hectares (49 acres) of estate vineyards, which are scattered around the Clare Valley and the Adelaide Hills. Polish Hill, which lends its name to Grosset’s most well-known Riesling, is planted on hard, rocky soils and produces a single-vineyard Riesling wine with distinctive flavors of citrus and slate.Yields are very low and the wine is fermented in stainless steel before being settled for a period of time on its lees. Riesling is also grown in the Springvale vineyard, which is on soils of red loam, shale and limestone – this wine has an intense minerality which is typical of this region.
