Grosset Springvale Riesling 2020

Lime zest, pith, limestone and white pepper.  Freshly crushed granny smith apple (skin on) and brine in there too.  There is a salty lick that forms the backbone of acid that runs through the very core of this wine.  It doesn’t flow in the order I expect it to, which takes nothing away from it, it just makes it unique.  Savoury, salty and tight but underpinned by fleshy generosity… it’s like a firm steel structure thrown onto a plush down-filled coverlet… enduring, stupendous length of flavour – I can taste it long after it is gone.  Saline and lingering. Great length of flavour. Powerhouse. Erin Larkin
