Grosset 2024 Polish Hill Riesling and Mount Langi Ghiran 2021 Langi Grampians Shiraz are the two top-rated wines in the latest edition of WBM – Australia’s Wine Business Magazine.
Both wines received 98 points from Tyson Stelzer in the Trade section of the publication.
“Thanks to a cool season and biodynamic farming, Jeff Grosset proclaims 2024 as the most pristine fruit he has seen since he first planted in the Clare Valley in the early 1980s,” Tyson writes about Grosset 2024 Polish Hill Riesling ($80).
“By jove! Polish Hill 2024 is as desperately gorgeous as any of the highlights of his lauded career.
“It is at once lighter than air and yet possessing a resolute determination that sets a future in the cellar as enduring as the career of its maker.
“The essence of the Clare, time will most certainly reveal this to be one of the greatest in Grosset’s 44 vintage history, and one of the finest Australian Rieslings conjured yet. 98 points.”
Tyson writes about Mount Langi Ghiran 2021 Langi Grampians Shiraz ($210): “The inimitable combination of black fruit depth, liquorice complexity and bountiful black pepper is unique to Langi, and I admire it nowhere more than in the cooler seasons, of which 2021 is the modern benchmark.
“Expresses the rumbling depth of power of this site yet with detail and poise, set to an intricate, fine-grained web of mouth-embracing tannins that promise to hold it among the most enduring of this fabled legend. 98 points.”
Each edition of WBM features 50 wine reviews each from Tyson Stelzer and Mike Bennie.
