Riesling G110, Grosset 2023

The 2023 G110 Riesling is water-white in the glass, and aromatically, the wine is super subtle, with wisps of saffron and turmeric alongside crushed chalk and green apple skins, white peppercorns, orange blossom and brine. In the mouth, this wine does what it always does; it seems to delicately flare into chiaroscuro. It purposefully swirls and stutters across the palate, writhes across day and night and lingers through the long, quiet finish, where you'll find cracked oyster shell, shaved fennel, beach sand and whiffs of coriander, perhaps. There's a rocky/mineral aspect that sits so nicely within the frame of the wine. It's great again this vintage.

A unique riesling made from clone 110, which gives powerful aromas of lemon peel, gun smoke, orange blossoms and river stones. The palate is medium-bodied with laser-like acidity and a generous mouthfeel that has filled out from nine months on the lees before bottling. Notes of grapefruit pith, flint, fresh ginger and lime zest linger in the long finish. Only 150 cases produced. Excellent.
