2025 GROSSET ALEA RIESLING 750ml

2025 GROSSET ALEA RIESLING 750ml

This wine is formerly known as Off-Dry Riesling.

Winery Notes

Gently fragrant with subtle richness on the mid-palate, this sixteenth vintage from Rockwood Vineyard showcases the fascinating European-style expression that distinguishes Alea from its Polish Hill sibling. Pronounced lime and lemony flavours emerge with impressive depth and intensity, sourced from the vineyard’s distinctive hard red rock and poor orange-red loam soils. The wine delivers remarkable mid-palate depth while finishing almost bone-dry with purity and finesse. This terroir-driven Riesling demonstrates how the same variety can express completely different characters depending on site – offering wine lovers a compelling alternative that maintains varietal integrity while showcasing unique soil-driven personality and structure.

Produced from riesling grown biodynamically at the Grosset Rockwood Vineyard

Unfined- vegan and vegetarian friendly

Released: September 1st, 2022

94 Points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
It’s hard to get people excited over ‘balance’ but sometimes it’s a beautiful thing. This is a riesling of body, shape, juiciness and length, but as a determinant of quality it’s the balance that does it. It builds such a weight of flavour through the mid-palate that you wonder if it’s going to get stuck there – and then it just sails on as if everything has been taken in its stride. Is there some residual here? You’d barely know it. This is real craft, real understanding. This is an excellent riesling.

94 Points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review
Pale, almost water-like in the glass; very restrained and reserved on the nose also, with fresh pastry, lemon blossom aromas, the palate likewise shy and unready, with the merest trace of sweetness which carries a trace of honey, and leaves the palate cleansed and refreshed. This is a very youthful wine which needs time and will richly reward a little cellaring. I'd keep it for at least two years and then drink for 12+. It's almost a sin to open it too soon. 18 Jul 2025
