Grosset Wines is an Australian winery based in the Clare Valley wine region of South Australia.
Jeffrey Grosset graduated from Roseworthy College with an Agriculture degree in 1973 and an Oenology degree in 1975.
Grosset Wines was established by Jeffrey Grosset in 1981. The winery and subsequently opened cellar door operates in Auburn inside a building previously used as a butter and ice factory in the early 1900s.
Grosset was the leader of an eventually successful movement in the 1980s to only allow the use of the word Riesling on Australian wines that were made specifically from the Riesling grape. Until that point a significant number of Australian wines with Riesling on their label were made from other grapes, including Hunter Riesling and Shepherds Riesling (both Semillon), Clare Riesling (Crouchen) and "Riesling" as a generic term for white wine, often in the form of very cheap Cask wine made from Sultana or Pedro Ximénez.
Jeffrey Grosset was also a driving force behind a decision in 2000 by Clare Valley Riesling producers to switch over to Screw cap closures for their wines and to then promote the use of screwcaps across the Australian and New Zealand wine industries. The entire range of Grosset wines is now released under Screw cap. Jeffrey Grosset was a contributing editor to the book Taming the screw : a manual for winemaking with screw caps, released in 2005. Grosset has also established the Australian Closure Fund to encourage scientific research comparing various types of wine closures.
