Polish Hill

2025
Clare Valley
Most Collected Riesling – Australia’s Most Collected Wines 2024, Wine Ark

Limited.

A Polish Hill for the ages – wonderfully aromatic and intensely fragrant, this 2025 vintage delivers full-throttle power while maintaining the vineyard’s signature finesse. Pure lime juice intensity tingles and electrifies the mid-palate, supported by characteristic slate-driven minerality and bone-dry structure. The wine’s impressive length reveals layers of citrus complexity with that signature lingering finish Polish Hill devotees treasure. This is a white wine that delights in its youth – fresh, bright, and immediately captivating – yet possesses the mineral backbone to age gracefully for decades. The marriage of immediate pleasure and long-term potential makes this vintage particularly special, representing one of the finest expressions from this legendary Clare Valley vineyard.

Cellar? ‘As long as you like’ says Jeff – up to 20 years, or drink now.

Bright and expressive, with aromas of lemon blossoms, kaffir limes, green apples and crushed slate. The palate is finely etched and vibrant, showing zesty acidity layered with citrus, white peach and mineral flavors. Persistent and tightly wound, with excellent clarity and length. A fine bottling of this famed wine that balances power and restraint.

The 2025 Polish Hill Riesling leads with a surprisingly delicate and floral nose. Usually, of the two wines, the Springvale slightly softer, more open and approachable on release, whereas the Polish Hill is all power and muscle and built for long-term aging. Here, the wine has a powerfully focused acid line, however the fruit is soft and plush—I am inclined to use words such as pretty, delicate and floral. There are notes of white rose, scratched lime zest, mandarin oil, river stone and white spice. The floral aspect is something to behold, however it refrains from dipping into the "rosewater" space. This is a beauty.

The weight of the palate here feels special. In fact the presence of this riesling, which is essentially frisky and, at that, only a few months old, is pretty remarkable. It tastes of stones, bath salts, florals and citrus, a gunmetal aspect lurking within. The purity of the fruit here, and the power of it, and the chalky, stony impression of the finish, all served in the context of flavour-filled, mouthwatering acidity: it’s all as delicious as it is a statement on quality. Superb release.

Quite pale green-yellow in the glass, restrained and reserved on the nose with pristine lemon blossom and steely mineral aromas. The palate opens with again reserved flavours but great intensity, an impression of ripe-fruit sweetness in the centre before a finish of yeasty/pastry and lime/citrus flavours, white pepper and slaty acidity. Long carry, cleansing and appetisingly more-ish aftertaste. Best cellar for a year or two, then drink for a decade and a half. 18 Jul 2025

Get your orders in now. The 2025 vintage of Grosset Polish Hill Riesling maintains its place as Australia's best – and much sought-after – dry riesling. It will be released on September 1 and will probably be sold out soon after. Jeffrey Grosset reports that "pristine fruit culminated in exceptional wines" and I certainly fell in love with the precision and panache of this flagship Clare Valley riesling from a year that Grosset says shows the full benefits of biodynamics in the vineyard. You'll find the classic acid-driven lemon, lime, grapefruit notes, but also some impressive vitality and texture. Pair this will the best fresh crayfish, scallops or prawns you can find and serve simply, so both wine and food shine. Delightfully delicious. 97/100.

Jeffrey Grosset credits a holistic biodynamic approach for vineyards he describes as "oases in an otherwise parched environment" in the extreme drought of the warm and sunny 2025 season. Polish Hill is the exemplar, delivering an effortless purity and determination that transcend this 'testing' vintage. Pristine lime and lemon are lifted with graceful apple blossom, reflecting the concentration of a small harvest. Pristine, crystalline acidity is supported by the bite of finely-handled phenolic grip on a long finish of bright finesse.

This release comes with some upfront approachability, while maintaining expected intensity, quality in concentration of flavour, a piercing acid line and chalky, puckering texture. There's immense complexity here – lime, gingery apple juice, jasmine tea, pink grapefruit and talc-chalk minerality. The potency and flesh are interesting; they speak of an easy access now, and perhaps a little less longevity from this release. No quibble – the fruit personality and depth are impressive. The crystalline finish is a treat, too. Excellent, of course. Published 11 September 2025
