Tasting Notes

Grosset Springvale Riesling 2019 1.5L Magnum embodies the pure expression and refined elegance of the Clare Valley’s celebrated terroir. Originating from the exclusive six-hectare Springvale vineyard in Watervale, this Riesling highlights the region’s distinctive cool climate and rare limestone soils that lend a crisp mineral character and vibrant acidity to the wine. The unique combination of these factors captures the essence of one of Australia’s most prestigious Riesling regions.

The 2019 vintage is notable as one of the lowest yielding in decades, concentrating the fruit and intensifying the wine’s complexity and depth. This scarcity enhances the allure and collectability of the Grosset Springvale Riesling 2019, which is sourced from a premium private cellar. Presented in a generous 1.5L magnum bottle, it invites extended enjoyment and is perfect for special gatherings or aging gracefully over time.

Visually, the wine displays a brilliant pale straw color with exceptional clarity. The aromatic profile bursts with fresh citrus zest, crisp green apple, and delicate floral nuances. On the palate, it reveals a superb balance of vibrant lime and lemon flavors underscored by bright acidity, culminating in a long, mineral-driven finish that highlights the purity and finesse typical of this terroir-specific Riesling.

As a flagship example of Grosset’s dedication to world-class Rieslings, this vintage promises both immediacy and longevity. It pairs exquisitely with seafood, light poultry dishes, and a variety of Asian cuisines, making it a sophisticated and versatile addition to any refined wine collection.

Critic Scores

Slightly deeper colour than the Polish Hill, although why it should be thus I don't know. The bouquet and palate march in tune, bringing Meyer lemon, lime and green apple into play from the outset. It's dangerously easy to drink. Drink by 2034.

The differences between Springvale and Polish Hill riesling have become less pronounced over the years. I would argue.
This leans on the talc and the chalk before it hits the pedals of citrus and apple. It boasts both delicacy and intensity though at this early stage it’s still working out the finish; it’s long without having write-home length. There’s almost a suggestion of grapefruit here or at least of citrus rind; in any case it’s tucked neatly into the overall flow. Drink 2020 - 2028+

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Springvale is Grosset's second flagship single-vineyard Riesling, sourced from a distinct Clare Valley block known for its limestone-influenced soils and warm-site characteristics that yield riper, more voluptuous fruit profiles compared to the cooler Polish Hill designation. The vineyard's mature vines on limestone-rich soils produce wines of excellent richness and natural structure. The 2019 growing season was warm and dry, concentrating ripeness in the grapes whilst cool nights maintained natural acidity and preserved aromatic freshness. The vineyard's established vines contributed depth and complexity to the vintage, developing balanced phenolic maturity.

Vinification

Hand-harvested Riesling fruit underwent gentle pressing and cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve aromatic intensity and natural acidity. The wine was kept on lees post-fermentation to build mid-palate weight and develop textural integration progressively over weeks of contact. Grosset's commitment to temperature control during fermentation ensured the wine's expression of limestone-influenced minerality alongside ripe stone-fruit notes. Extended élevage on lees built complexity and enhanced ageing potential over time. Careful post-fermentation handling preserved secondary flavour development and elegant character.

About this Wine

Grosset

Established in 1981, Grosset Wines is independently owned and dedicated to allowing purity of fruit and region to take centre stage. “We aim to produce the best examples of variety and place. This is self-explanatory really… Riesling from the Clare Valley, expressing the dramatic differences between soft rock and hard rock sites and then differences within those broad categories; uniquely sited Semillon and Fiano, Cabernet from the coolest site in the region and of course, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from an even cooler sub-region of the Adelaide Hills,” explains owner and founder, Jeffrey Grosset.

“Purity of fruit and optimum ripeness are crucial to us, and we are not afraid to use different wine making approaches to bring the best out of each vineyard. Each is a testament to this philosophy.”

Clare Valley

Situated in the Mid North of South Australia, approximately 120 km north of Adelaide is one of Australia's oldest wine regions the Clare Valley. The area is broken up into three sub-regions, the Polish Hill River region to the east, the Central Clare Valley, and the Skillogalee Valley to the west.

Often associated with some of Australia's finest Riesling the cool climate and differing terroirs have paved the way for exciting and diverse wines over a plethora of varietals resulting in wines of pure expression and great length. Home to some of Australia's most iconic wineries - cult producers like Wendouree, to Australian icons such as Kilikanoon and boutique producers like Atlas, the Clare Valley is definitely an area to keep an eye on for exciting and ever evolving wines
