TASTING NOTES FOR Grosset Springvale Riesling Clare Valley South Australia 2022

🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with bright green highlights. Brilliant and crystalline, showing purity and precision in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Highly aromatic and inviting, with intense lime, lemongrass and citrus zest.
Subtle notes of green apple, floral blossom and fresh herbs add complexity and lift.

👅 Palate
Bright, focused and beautifully balanced, delivering layers of lime, lemon and green apple.
There’s excellent concentration, with hints of melon, herbs and a fine mineral thread running through the palate.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Fine and mouth-watering with crisp, natural acidity driving the wine.
The finish is long, precise and lingering, with citrus intensity and a clean mineral edge.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic Clare Valley Riesling—vibrant, approachable and finely structured.
More generous and open than Polish Hill, yet still delivers purity, precision and excellent ageing potential.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with fresh oysters, prawns, sashimi or spicy Asian cuisine. Also excellent with goat’s cheese and light, citrus-driven dishes.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A beautifully balanced Riesling that delivers intensity, freshness and immediate drinkability.
Perfect for mixed dozens where you want a premium Clare Valley Riesling that’s approachable now but still has the structure to age gracefully.
