[SOLD-OUT] Grosset Noble Riesling 2011

"The seasonal conditions for 'noble rot', a natural infection of botrytis, occur only rarely in the Clare Valley: in fact, the previous Noble Riesling made by Grosset was in 1999. This year, just under one hectare of riesling grapes was left for an extended time on the vine until each bunch had become fully infected and concentrating the flavours and the sweetness in the berries to more than double that normally achieved in ripe fruit. The result is an intensely concentrated, exquisitely rich, dessert style riesling. Just 500 cases (375ml) have been produced from estate grown fruit at Watervale.

The Grosset Noble Riesling 2011 is an extreme example of this style, its complex, textural palate showing apricot, nectarine, and white peach yet is pure, precise and detailed with a powerful mineral backbone. It is long and lush with impressive weight and admirable balance as its cleansing natural acidity restrains its delicious sweetness."
