Grosset Polish Hill is a single site wine from the Polish Hill vineyard, planted at 460 metres above sea level on sandy loam over shallow clay with underlying gravel, shale and slate. It has been made each year since 1981.

The 2009 is a wonderful follow-up to the excellent 2008. While these vintages may become acknowledged as among the finest Polish Hill Rieslings of the decade, they are nevertheless quite different. In some ways, the 2009 Polish Hill is a surprise packet with quite exuberant, lifted floral aromatics providing a departure from the norm.

On the palate, there is a brightness and youthful tang that is rare in young Polish Hill Rieslings. As ever, there is intense, pristine lime juice flavour made more complex by slatey, minerally characters all compressed and coiled by the wine's tightness of structure. There's characteristic finesse, power and a steely quality before the taut natural acidity highlights its lingering, dry finish. While the 2009 Polish Hill should age as well as other vintages, it may provide more joy in its youth.

A stunner that fully lives up to the exalted Grosset name. Lime leaves, fresh herbs, lemon and lime juice in the mouth. This is very intense, crisp and fresh on the palate, well focused and with great length. Impressive now and promises more in the future. Drink now to 10 years plus. 95 Points Huon Hooke The Sydney Morning Herald - Good Living 22 September 2009

This is a phenomenal vintage for Polish Hill, and it is set to go down as one of the greats of all time. It has all of the focused lime and pure lemon blossom fruit that you would expect from this vineyard, but its structured minerality drives deeper than ever into the core of the wine. It is its length that propels Polish Hill 2009 to the pinnacle of Australian Riesling. There is not a nuance of deviation in the palate line from start to finish, and its flavours linger for so long it’s almost eerie. With this wine, Jeffrey Grosset has done a Usain Bolt and beat his own record. 97 points; Tyson Stelzer

Grosset Polish Hill riesling at its best. Extreme length. It's not as austere as a young wine as Polish Hill riesling sometimes is, but it has so much bite through the finish that I'm not worried about it in terms of 'developing to early'. Make no mistake, this is a smashing wine. Orange rind, lime, intense focus and a flourish to its tail. Drink: 2013-2020 96 Points Campbell Mattinson The Wine Front 11 September 2009
