The 2024 mesh Eden Valley Riesling is a benchmark cool-climate Australian Riesling, crafted in Eden Valley through the collaboration of Jeffrey Grosset and Robert Hill-Smith. It reflects a modern, precision-driven style focused on purity, citrus intensity and mineral expression, with the vintage delivering excellent concentration from low-yielding fruit and ideal growing conditions. The nose is bright and highly aromatic, showing lime, lemon zest and green apple, layered with hints of grapefruit, white flowers and crushed stone minerality.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a taut, linear structure and vibrant acidity. Flavours of citrus, lime and orchard fruit are supported by a strong mineral backbone, leading to a long, dry and refreshing finish with impressive precision and energy. The style is classic Eden Valley—crisp, focused and age-worthy, combining immediate drinkability with the potential for further development.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a go-to modern Australian Riesling and one of the best-value examples of the style. It’s ideal for customers who enjoy high-acid, mineral-driven whites like Clare Valley Riesling or Chablis. This is not soft or fruity—it’s zesty, structured and refreshing. Drink now or cellar for 8–12 years. Perfect with oysters, seafood, sushi or spicy Asian dishes.
