Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2017 750ml

Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2017 is precise, powerful and beautifully refined.

Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2017 is precise, powerful and beautifully refined. One of Australia's benchmark Rieslings, this exceptional Clare Valley release combines intense citrus fruit with wonderful purity, minerality and a long line of crisp acidity.

Now with some bottle age, the 2017 is showing beautiful complexity while still retaining the freshness and structure that makes Polish Hill such a celebrated wine. Lime, lemon and green apple are joined by subtle mineral and mature Riesling notes, creating a wine that feels elegant, focused and remarkably fresh. For those who love premium Australian Riesling, this is a very special bottle.
