With subtle changes in style, driven by a new clonal mix, this wine offers a fresh take while staying true to its roots. Sourced entirely from the prestigious Piccadilly Valley, this vintage is defined by its admirable finesse and complex aromas. The powerful perfume of grapefruit, lime juice, and cashews is captured within a delicate yet almost steely framework, showcasing a balance of power and refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-start=\"590\" data-end=\"1024\"\u003eThe 2024 vintage is more approachable in its youth while retaining the capacity for long-term aging. It embodies the harmony of richness and restraint, offering vibrant fruit flavours backed by a fine, mineral-driven structure. This is a wine that will develop beautifully over time, revealing deeper layers of complexity and texture. Only 300 cases were produced, making this an exclusive and sought-after addition to any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-start=\"590\" data-end=\"1024\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCellaring Potential - 15 years from vintage release\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrosset Wines is a renowned independent winery, dedicated to crafting seven exceptional premium wines with each vintage.

It’s clearly a very young wine, and released too early, though if you’re popping down $84, well, I’m thinking you’ll do the right thing and wait a while. Quality fruit. Quality oak. It’s glossy and smooth, pear and nectarine, nougat, fennel and white flower perfume, lime leaf, spicy biscuit oak. It has intensity, moves to ripe lime flavour on the palate, firm powdery texture, with a bright and juicy finish of excellent length. It offers polish and precision, and has something of a ginger biscuit and lemongrass exotic character in the aftertaste. Very nice. Exemplary, even. It could well be the best Grosset Chardonnay I’ve tasted. Just give it a year or two before opening.\u003cstrong\u003e - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, 95 Points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThere was no 2023 and the vines have come back with a spectacularly precise rendition in the cool 2024 season in the heights of the Piccadilly Valley! The tension of lemon and grapefruit leads out, building body of white peach and fig on the mid-palate that lingers on a long finish of bright acidity and the mineral tension of low pH. Oak is neatly enveloped, promising a long and distinguished future.
