Grosset Wines, Clare Valley
Written by Max Allen
When the young Jeffrey Grosset launched his own winery in the Clare Valley in the early 1980's, he was swimming against the tide. Back then, Chardonnay was the rising star of Australian Wine. But Grosset wanted to make Riesling, and to focus on letting the grapes speak for themselves.
The rest of the Australian wine industry has, of course, caught up with Grosset since, thanks in part to the example set by this focused, restlessly intelligent winemaker. By consistently producing arguably Australia's two best Rieslings - the flowery, lime-rich Watervale and the steely, firm Polish Hill - Grosset has not only helped steer the reversal in this variety's fortunes, but has provided one of the country's most powerful arguments in favour of the reality of terroir.

Oz Identifies 'Wizards of Oz'
In his Australian Wine Companion (Time Warner, UK, 2004), the well-known UK wine writer, Oz Clarke, identifies what he calls nine 'Wizards of Oz' among Australian winemakers.  Along with such wine luminaries as Len Evans, James Halliday, Murray Tyrell, Mick Morris, Philip Shaw, Bailey Carrodus, Brian Croser and Peter Lehmann, Clarke names Jeffrey Grosset as one of his 'wizards'. Grosset's particular wizardry, Clarke says, was to establish himself as 'the man who put the steel back into riesling.  At a time when riesling was unfashionable, Grosset created a style of austere mineral purity and stark citrus scent in the Clare Valley that proved irresistible to critics and drinkers alike.'
