Grosset Springvale Watervale Riesling 2008

Made by Grosset in Australia (region: Clare Valley) .

A dry, still, white wine with 13% alcohol tasted on 25th Sep 2009.

Grape: Riesling

Quality: Very Good

Value: Okay

Cost: Usually between $31.99 - $42.99.

Looks: Very pale gold colour, more golden than many rieslings. Light in body.

Smells: Lifted citrus tones - orange and lemon

Feels: Light body

Tastes: The core of this wine is orange and lemon tones - perhaps with less acidity than previous years. A wine that is very very easy to drink and appreciate, but perhaps without the driving acidity or even some of the minerality of previous vintages. Length also is a little shorter than previous years. Having said all that, this is still such an approachable, drinkable wine that brings a smile to your face.
