Description

The 2022 Alea is a landmark Grosset vintage: complex, taut, pure and balanced. The unique characteristics of the Alea vineyard site have been exquisitely captured by a European winemaking approach. It has pristine lemon lime aromatics which entice. These are enhanced by a mouth-puckering intense palate which exhibits both finesse and power and a long and satisfying, chalky finish.

Ageing Potential: Drink now �20 years

Produced from riesling grown at the Grosset Rockwood Vineyard, an A-Grade Certified Organic and Biodynamic (ACO) vineyard.

Unfined- vegan and vegetarian friendly

Released: September 1st, 2022

Alea Vineyard, a distinct site for Grosset set on red loam over hard-red rock, was planted in 2000. Certified organic and biodynamic. Produced in an off-dry style. A moreish riesling with pitch-perfect sweetness and acidity, mouth-watering and fresh in its feel. Scents of green apple, kaffir lime leaf and lemon lozenges. Flavours combine with the crunch and sweetness of green apple with a good squeeze of tangy lime juice. Gentle fruit sweetness is abetted by cool, briny, lemony acidity and general air of freshness. Ultra appealing and yet with a sense of detail and minerally complexity. An outstanding release which should develop with interest with cellar time.
