Grosset is releasing its latest G110 riesling in April this year – but only 150 cases will be available
‘There’s a swagger of concentration and chalky texture. Apple, lime and lemongrass are accompanied by a huge swish of river pebble and saline-brine freshness … This is a very, very impressive riesling.‘ Link to article 97 points Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion, March 23 2025
WHAT I’VE LEARNED | Jeffrey Grosset
67 Pall Mall October Edit
Jeffrey Grosset is widely recognised as one of Australia’s most influential winemakers, an endlessly driven perfectionist who has, since founding his eponymous winery in the Clare Valley in 1981, challenged traditions and helped lead the resurgence of Riesling. As he hits 70, we sat down with him on a visit to London to reflect on his career… read full interview here

Grosset G110 Riesling 2023 at No.23 in James Suckling’s Top 100 Wines of Australia 2024
We are honoured to be listed at No.23 on James Suckling’s Top 100 Wines of Australia 2024 and wonderful to see the Clare Valley represented!
‘For riesling, key regions like Clare Valley and Eden Valley lead the way, producing crisp and aromatic expressions like the No. 23 Grosset Riesling Clare Valley G110 2023. Jeffrey Grosset, a pioneering winemaker in Clare Valley, made this wine from the premium single-clone G110, with the vintage expressing aromatic notes of lime, green apple and subtle spice, paired with a tightly structured, high-tension palate.’ Ryan Montgomery, Associate Editor, jamessuckling.com
Grosset G110 Riesling 2023 – ‘A unique riesling made from clone 110, which gives powerful aromas of lemon peel, gun smoke, orange blossoms and river stones. The palate is medium-bodied with laser-like acidity and a generous mouthfeel that has filled out from nine months on the lees before bottling. Notes of grapefruit pith, flint, fresh ginger and lime zest linger in the long finish. Only 150 cases produced. Excellent. Drink or hold. Screw cap.’ 97 Points

Grosset Wines No.8 in Halliday Wine Companion’s Top 100 Wineries 2024
Jeffrey Grosset is synonymous with riesling… You don’t think of Grosset without thinking of the grape, though the Grosset name is stamped across bottles of cabernet, a shiraz nero d’avola blend, chardonnay, fiano and pinot noir. And all are excellent. All would make Grosset a household name. But the rieslings. Well, they make a statement so impactful that it is hard to think of much else. Painstakingly selected and planted sites, biodynamic farming, mature vines, meticulous fruit selection and winemaking are all instrumental. And, of late, that rigour has collided with some spectacular vintages. It is a nexus that has seen some spellbindingly good wines emerge from this most revered address. Put simply, Grosset is better than ever.

The Clare Valley has done all right on The Winefront site lately. Grosset is always excellent but the 2024 Grosset Polish Hill Riesling is as good as any new-release Grosset riesling I have yet tasted (and I’ve tasted them on release every year for 20+ years).
Grosset Polish Hill 2024 – 97 Points
Grosset Springvale Riesling 2024 – 95 Points
Grosset Alea Riesling 2024 – 95 Points

Vintage 2024
Each of these latest releases is produced from a vineyard that we planted decades ago. The aim then (as now) was to grow fruit to make the best wines possible. Odd-shaped vineyards, impractical (albeit beautiful) locations, were positioned in higher altitude (cooler) sites with the desired mix of soil, rock and aspect.
This vintage, those vineyards produced the most pristine fruit that we have seen. We put this and the fruit’s intense flavours down to the cool conditions early (the riesling fruit was hand harvested before hotter weather in March) and the impact of biodynamic farming.
A very exciting vintage!
Judgement of London – Grosset Polish Hill 2012 Runner-up ‘Best White Wine’
May 21st – Grosset Polish Hill 2012 Runner-up ‘Best White Wine’ London Wine Fair’s Judgement of London
32 wines were tasted over a period of four hours by 21 judges, a selection of the UK’s best palates, two-thirds of which were either Masters of Wine or Master Sommeliers. It was a ‘Europe vs rest of the world’
The purpose of Judgement of London was to give a snapshot of the fine wine landscape almost 50 years on from the original Judgement of Paris in 1976. This time, with four Australian wines in the taste-off, the results were almost too close to call.

It’s one of Australia’s best red wines…
On The Winefront …
It’s one of Australia’s best red wines, and yet few people talk of it. You can actually buy it; it’s not a ‘waiting list’ job. Gary Walsh described last year’s release as “superb”, and Campbell Mattinson had it in his best three Australian red wines of the year. On Winefront the past four vintages have rated 95, 94, 96 and 96, which is some feat for a single vineyard offering. These are Winefront scores too, remember; we (very) rarely go much higher. Gary Walsh has just described the new 2022 release as “a wine of wonderful shape and control”.
