"The 2013 Grosset Alea Riesling is delightfully floral with white flowers and a whisper of lemon blossom and fresh garden herbs. There are lime juice flavours, a hint of lemon and a beautifully balanced long generous palate that leads to a gentle grip and zingy dry finish. "The Alea has come of age" says Jeff. "This vintage is a fraction drier than previous releases and is wonderfully complex while remaining delicate and perfectly balanced. We put this down to equal measures of vineyard maturity and experience."

First vintage under 'Alea' name was 2012 (prior to that, was called 'off-dry', which first appeared in 2010). RS 12 g/l, TA 9 g/l. Soft fruit, lime and nettle and a strong green streak " from early picking " but it works thanks to the lick of sugar. Honeyed character.
jancisrobinson.com, 4th December 2013.
"Light to pale colour. Shrill mineral aromas without overt fruitiness or floral tones, it's more a 'bath powder' scent, and on the tongue it's a bit on the austere side. The sweetness is barely perceptible: this is a clean, dry-finishing wine. It will doubtless be more pleasing in another year or so."
