The rugged bush land of the Clare Valley is a special place and it?s hard to think of it without Grosset wines coming to mind, perhaps its best advocate whose wines are the regions best exponent. As a region the Clare Valley contradicts itself, providing a climate growing medium to full bodied Cabernet based wines with elegant precision, and some of the worlds finest and longest lived Rieslings. Despite being 50 miles north of the warmer Barossa, it sits atop a high plateau of mineral rich soils alongside a slight mountain range, the Mt. Lofty Ranges. This provides interesting sites for those that care to explore, with sun filled days, cool nights, diurnal temperature swings and cooling breezes the norm.
The eight hectare Polish Hill vineyard is at 460 metres altitude and just five kilometres from Springvale as the crow flies (but eleven kilometres by car). The infertile, shaley soil is slightly acidic and its topsoil has a clay and shale crust. The vines have to work harder than those at Springvale and so produce smaller distinctly flavoured and concentrated berries. The 2014 Grosset Polish Hill Riesling surprises with voluminous lemon blossom aromas bursting from the glass. Then it?s supple and round initially on the palate giving a delightful mouthfeel before the more characteristic power and tight, steely structure kicks in reminding you that this is Polish Hill. The primary flavours are more evident than is often the case with wonderfully pure lime juice and lemongrass before a finish that has a surprising softness. Certainly, there?s refreshingly dry and vibrant cleansing acidity and some shaley minerality on a finish of remarkable persistence and length.
