'This is a softer, more juicy wine than the Polish Hill. It has fresh, crisp, herby aromas the palate is quite rich with abundant flavour. It's relatively up-front and is starting to drink well but it will reward cellaring too. Cellar 1-7 years + 5 Stars * * * * *'

'Jeffrey Grosset is arguably Australia's best riesling maker with his Polish Hill offering and this outstanding Watervale wine usually sold out by the end of each year. This is absolutely outstanding, with lovely tight acid, intense lemon and lime flavours and persistence on the palate. Versatile, but perfect with seafood with a hint of spice.
Winsor Dobbin Food & Wine
'Grosset is widely regarded as perhaps this country's best riesling maker. So when you combine his skills with a superb vintage the results are bound to be impressive. They are his '08 Watervale riesling is pure as a mountain creek with typically intense aromas of musk lime and citrus. Its zippy acidity will hold together for a decade at least.'

'There is an innocent, demure air to this wine that belies the serious structure that awaits on the palate. The perfumed bouquet leaps out of the glass with lively citrus fruit and juicy, ripe white peach aromas. A great vintage for Grosset and for Watervale.'
Tyson Stelzer WBM 100 October 2008
'This wine is testament to Clare Valley kingpin Jeffrey Grosset's masterful handling of the variety. Its intense and persistent lemony flavours are all class.'
John Fordham The Sunday Telegraph September 28 2008
'Grosset delivers some impressive weight and depth here, whilst still remaining faithful to the Watervale districts expressive aromatics. There's a lot on offer in 2008, lemon and lime sherbet, grapefruit, citrus blossom and deep, sizzling acidity to wrap it all in long and tight.'
