SKU: GROSALERIE25
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.

”There is such pleasure here, a glossiness to texture, a joyous feel to fruit character, a light dusting of spice, some sweet, herbal inflections and a soft landing of pulpy mandarin to finish. It feels even-keeled and refreshing while also offering nuance from the variety, a detail of citrus fruits, spice elements, slate-like minerality and a judicious flamboyance of fruitiness. Puts a smile on your dial.”
