Grosset, Clare Valley (South Australia) Riesling Springvale 2014

($34): Jeffrey Grosset describes his 2014 Springvale Riesling as a “soft rock” compared to the Polish Hill Riesling, which he characterizes as a “hard rock.”  It’s an apt comparison.  The Springvale Riesling is more floral and slightly richer, but retains the wonderful cutting dry edginess characteristic of Grosset’s wines.  It’s like choosing between your children, so my advice is to buy both and compare them yourself.  They will remain fresh and vibrant even after being opened for a few days if stored in a cold refrigerator.
