Grosset Alea Riesling 2022 (WA 94+)

Wine Advocate 94+.
The 2022 Alea Riesling is made from fruit grown at the Grosset Rockwood vineyard. This is the off-dry Riesling in the lineup, and I can tell you now, the sugar, the phenolics and the acidity are in a textural mesh of harmony in the mouth. There is a cross-hatch component to the mouthfeel, and it suspends the fruit over the tongue and out over the long finish. This is a really smart, composed, long (at this stage, quiet) and concentrated example of Clare Valley Riesling, proving Jeff Grosset is the master of the craft still. Yum. Drink by 2037.


This vintage the distinct character of our vineyard at Watervale has been perfectly
captured by a European winemaking approach. It has pristine lemon lime aromatics which
entice. These are enhanced by a mouth-puckering grip that gives it intensity, finesse and power to the mid-palate and a long and satisfying, chalky finish. The 2022 Alea is a landmark Grosset vintage: complex, taut, pure and balanced.

Ageing Potential: 20 years
