2024 Mesh Riesling

Searing lime, lemon and Granny Smith apple fruits sculptured by crisp steely acidity.

Mesh is a joint venture between two of Australia’s leading exponents of Riesling, Clare Valley’s Jeffrey Grosset and Eden Valley’s Robert Hill-Smith.
Brilliant water like core with highlights of green around the edges. Intense lime, citrus and orange rind aromas leap from the glass followed by some distinct talc, green apple and chalky mineral notes. Searing lime, lemon and Granny Smith apple fruits carry a tense feel, sculptured by crisp steely acidity. Also making an appearance are notions of orange rind and flinty mineral elements. Finishes very dry, snappy and focused.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 11.5%

Other Reviews….
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. Drink by 2038.
