This is the result of a collaboration between Robert Hill Smith and the great Riesling maker Jeffrey Grosset. It’s released as a 7-year-old wine and yet if you said it was just a few years old you could be believed, such is its remarkable freshness and youthful appearance. It has hardly started its journey with the faint hint of toasty development complementing the light citrus floral notes. The intensity of the palate is a feature with the fine delicately integrated acid defining through to the sustained finish. A super wine.
