Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2016

EXCLUSIVE WEBSITE OFFER. The 36th release of Polish Hill has explosive flavours that distinguish this vintage with power and tremendous intensity. The bouquet has lanvender, a touch of lime and some mineral notes while the palate has surprising generosity, lime juice characters and some characteristic chalkiness. It is tight, super-fine with steely structure before a dry finish featuring pure natual acidity and hints of schist.

Located at the base of Mount Horrocks, at an elevation of 460 metres, the eight hectare Polish Hill vineyard is a ‘hard rock’ site with shallow shale and a thin crust of clay marl over slate. These thin soils hamper the roots’ downward development, so the vines struggle. Relatively close-planted, a ‘modified ballerina’ training system provides ideal exposure. The fruit is typically small, in berry and bunch size. Only two bottles are produced from each vine.
