Australia’s Greatest-Ever Wines

Ken Gargett reflects on the 12 Australian wines that should be on every oenophile’s bucket list.

Today, the undisputed King of Riesling is Jeff Grosset. His Polish Hill and Springvale rieslings are modern day classics. There have been some amazing wines over the years from great vintages, including 2002, 2005, 2009, 2012 and 2017. There is no doubt that 2021 will sit with them.

Vintage 2022

‘2022 – A beautiful idyllic vintage. Even, moderate crops of all varieties, similar to 2018 in volume (but well above those of 2019, 2020 and 2021 which were all affected by insufficient rain).

Mild, sunny, no rain or elevated humidity to speak of in the growing season, no heatwave. Late (by recent standards)  – more typical of better vintages in 1980’s and 90’s.

Harvest of riesling occurred between March 2nd – 23rd; reds from March 21^st to April 10^th. Weather during that time was uninterrupted stunningly beautiful!’

G110-2021 Halliday Review – 98/100

A single-clone bottling from the Rockwood vineyard. The last 2 vintages of G110 have been exceptional, scintillating wines. Those seasons have been warm ones, not traditionally suited to riesling. Enter now 2021, the year ‘made for it’: a long, cool, even growing season, responsible for extremely high-quality wines across the board, likened perhaps to the great 2002 vintage. And so … to this wine. Streamlined, long, lingering rivulets of spicy, almost austere riesling. It has integrity, shape and line, punctuated by detailed nuance and poise. It is spicy – even tense in its disposition – layered with nutmeg, spring flowers, brine, green apple skins, crushed limestone, mineral slate, snow pea tendril and even lemongrass. It is a kaleidoscope of flavour and texture, the puzzle pieces so small that it’s hard to put them all together – describing it is a challenge (which is a good sign for the wine). It is enigmatic, statuesque and epic in every way. But it’s also quiet, so do not underestimate it – make sure you tune in to its frequency.

A New Era For Australian Riesling: Flavour and Drinkability

‘… Clare Valley riesling maker Jeffrey Grosset is one who “sees a shift in the approach and style of Australian riesling playing out and is clearly excited by this” – almost as much as we are. Grosset’s 2021 Polish Hill and Springvale Rieslings are “charged with flavour and are powerfully concentrated, long and intense,” and they’re also two great picks for your wine list. read more

Alternative no more: Why winemakers love this Italian white grape

‘His Grosset Apiana (2021 the latest vintage) has shown the variety can step up into the higher echelons of fine-wine territory.’ Tony Love, InReview

Grosset Gaia 2018

The 2018 vintage has been another impressive one for ‘Gaia’: while it has the power, density of flavour, and structure of cabernet, it has the plush texture and the approachability of the best examples of the variety. Of course, it will soften and flesh out with good cellaring.

Reviews :

Tyson Stelzer, WBM, December 2021

The determination and inimitable Jeffrey Grosset molecular precision of Gaia is something to behold. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc unite in fragrant accuracy and finely scaffolded structure of astonishing grace and yet dramatic confidence. The full metal of this bony, exposed, high site is manifested in its full glory in 2018, with decades of potential wound tightly into its exacting folds.

97/100

Stuart Knox, The Real Review, March 2021

Deep ruby and purple colour from core to rim. Plump blackberries, damp earth and dry-ageing beef aromas. Medium-weighted black fruits, meat and spice meld seamlessly together with a fine tannin line and hint of acidity giving drive and persistence yet remain laser focused to the finish. A glorious glass of wine.
