Grosset Wines

South Australia has no shortage of great producers, but few carry the quiet authority of Grosset Wines. Founded by Jeffrey Grosset in 1981, the winery has built its reputation on clarity, precision, and above all, Riesling. The Clare Valley (https://www.reservecellar.com.au/region/australia/south-australia/clare-valley) is its heart — high, cool, and stony — a landscape that gives Grosset wines their unmistakable edge.

The name that echoes most loudly is Grosset Riesling. Springvale and Polish Hill are the two benchmarks. Both come from single sites, yet they speak so differently. Springvale is bright, almost floral, with citrus that races across the palate. Polish Hill is tighter, more austere in youth, its slatey minerality unfolding slowly over years. These are white wines that collectors chase not for immediate power, but for their ability to evolve. Ten years in the cellar and they hum with lime, honey, and a kind of shimmering length.

Grosset’s craft doesn’t stop at Riesling. Chardonnay shows restraint, a cool-climate line of stone fruit and oak handled with finesse. The Pinot Noir, grown in the Adelaide Hills, brings red fruit and savoury spice, lighter in body but long in character. Even the blends — such as the Gaia, a cabernet-based red — carry the same precision. Each feels intentional, nothing over-made.

For those wondering about Grosset wines price, they sit at the higher end of Australian Riesling, and rightly so. These bottles are not just another white wine on a shelf; they are reference points, poured in top restaurants and cellared by those who understand their arc.

What makes Grosset stand out among wines from South Australia is discipline. Jeffrey Grosset has long championed organic principles and sustainability, and he bottles wines that express vineyard and vintage with honesty. There’s no compromise in style. The results are wines that feel both pure and enduring.

At The Reserve Cellar, Grosset Wines are treated as more than purchases. They are part of a conversation with place. We hold vintages until they begin to show their true character, so when you open a bottle, it’s not just Riesling, or Chardonnay, or red wine. It’s the essence of South Australia — its soils, its seasons, its quiet patience — distilled into glass. With Grosset, every sip is a reminder that precision and passion can be one and the same.
