The story of Australian wine cannot be written without mentioning Jeffrey Grosset. Established in 1981 inside an old, abandoned stone milk depot in Auburn, this pioneering estate single-handedly transformed global perceptions of southern hemisphere white wine. Decades before the rest of the world caught up, the winery committed to entirely organic and biodynamic farming, focusing on absolute purity and minimal intervention. Driven by a legendary obsession with detail, this family-owned producer is directly responsible for spearheading the screwcap revolution, fighting the global wine establishment to prove that pristine, world-class whites deserve a closure that preserves their energetic fruit profile perfectly.
While the estate produces a handful of exceptional, hand-crafted reds, it is their status as the absolute benchmark for dry Clare Valley Riesling that cements their global reputation. For the casual wine lover, exploring this range offers a fascinating, straightforward lesson in how different vineyard plots shape flavor. Rather than relying on complicated trade terminology, the portfolio speaks directly through its two iconic bottlings. The Grosset Springvale Riesling delivers an immediate, friendly burst of bright lime zest, white blossom, and juicy green apple, making it immensely approachable in its youth.
In contrast, the legendary Grosset Polish Hill Riesling is born from ancient, hard blue slate soils where the vines are forced to struggle for survival. This creates smaller, highly concentrated grapes that translate into a structurally powerful white wine packed with crystalline minerality, intense citrus oil, and a piercing freshness. By offering these sought-after allocations by the single bottle, we make it simple for curious enthusiasts to experience these cellaring legends side-by-side without the restriction of multi-case buying rules.
