In the early 1980s, Jeffrey embarked on his winemaking journey in Clare Valley, South Australia, but not in the conventional way. While others followed established paths, Jeffrey chose experimentation and innovation, guided by that foundational principle: it starts with place. His unconventional approach meant questioning everything, from vineyard practices to the smallest details of winemaking. Today these wines are regarded as some of the finest examples of the riesling grape on the planet.
750 mlRiesling grown biodynamically at Grosset Springvale Vineyard (Watervale sub-region), established in 2001 (25 years old).
Hand harvested, free run juice, with no fining. This site has been a surprise. It was chosen as a typical, if cooler, Watervale site – thin red loam over limestone. Only years later did the vines’ roots reach ancient slate bedrock beneath; a possible explanation for the minerality evident in recent releases.
Lifted, elegant intensity with quintessential Watervale character – lime blossom, lemon and lime citrus, with minerality most likely from roots reaching slate. Balanced lime pith and brightness deliver structure, carrying to a persistent finish. Biodynamic farming nurtured near-oasis conditions, delivering grapes from limestone and slate. The result: generosity and elegance.
