Nick Ryan’s Top 100 Wines of 2024
‘Jeffrey Grosset’s Clare Valley rieslings are a must-buy every year, but in a year like 2024 they become a “sell a kidney to buy more” proposition. His magisterial ‘Polish Hill’ wine will be a long-lived classic, but right now this utterly beguiling offering from his Watervale vineyard, strewn with citrus blossom, lifted by lemongrass and electrified with thrilling acidity, is undeniable.’ 96 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.

From The Winefront
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”.
