Grosset 'Polish Hill' Riesling 2017 Magnum (Gift Box)

Situated in the high, windswept slopes of the Clare Valley’s Polish Hill sub-region, Grosset’s 2017 Polish Hill Riesling Magnum is a benchmark expression of Australian Riesling purity. Sourced from low-yielding, organically farmed vineyards rooted in ancient, slate-rich soils, this wine is renowned for its precision, age-worthy structure and mineral intensity. The magnum format ideal for slow, graceful evolution accentuates its capacity for complexity and longevity.

Appearance

Pale, luminous straw with green-tinged highlights. The clarity and brightness are striking, reflecting the wine’s youthfulness even with bottle age. In magnum, it retains a crystalline radiance that hints at its vibrant acidity and purity of fruit.

Nose

A lifted, tightly coiled bouquet of lime zest, citrus blossom and crystalline white florals. Underneath, subtle layers of crushed slate, bath salts and wet stone emerge classic signatures of the Polish Hill vineyard. As the wine opens, hints of kaffir lime leaf, subtle chamomile and a faint whisper of lanolin begin to show, signalling early stages of bottle development.

Palate

A laser-focused palate of citrus purity: lime juice, preserved lemon and white grapefruit drive through the core, supported by taut, flinty minerality. The texture is remarkably fine and shimmering, with delicate notes of jasmine, green apple and mandarin pith unfolding across the mid-palate. The acidity remains brisk, linear and beautifully integrated, carrying the wine toward a long, precise and slate-infused finish that is both refreshing and deeply structured.

Overall

This magnum of Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2017 is an exemplar of tension, precision and longevity. Beautifully expressive now, yet still youthful in structure, it offers immense cellaring potential magnum format only enhancing its evolution toward richer lime-oil, toast and honeyed complexity over the coming decades. Exceptional as an apéritif and superb with seafood, Asian dishes, shellfish, sashimi or lightly spiced cuisines, it is both a collector’s piece and a wine of remarkable purity and finesse.
