95 Points - Dave Brookes
Mesh is the venture of two of Australia's best known Riesling makers; Robert Hill Smith and Jeffrey Grosset. This formidable duo joined forces with the objective of elevating the status of both Riesling and South Australia’s Eden Valley. In a relatively short period of time, Mesh has firmly established itself among Australia's finest Rieslings.
The newly released 2024 Mesh Eden Valley Riesling is green and vibrant in appearance, with zesty lemon and grapefruit aromas. The palate is intense and generous, with lively lime, citrus flavours. The wine finishes dry with refreshing, long acidity. As with all top-line Eden Valley Rieslings, this should develop further complexity with time in the cellar.
"95 Points. Light straw in the glass with bright aromas of freshly squeezed lime, green apple and grapefruit with hints of Christmas lily, frangipani, crushed stone, almond paste, makrut lime, lemongrass and lime zest. Dry and stony-savoury in its palate travel with minerally energy to burn and a real vitality and precision to its passage. Finishes long and limey. 11.5%. Drink: 2024 - 2038. Screwcap. $35"- Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion.
