When Yalumba’s fifth generation vigneron Robert Hill Smith joined forces with Clare winemaker extraordinaire Jeffrey Grosset to create a new Eden Valley Riesling, it was clear this would be no ordinary wine.
Born of occasional musings, the essence of the adventure is two of Australia's best known Riesling makers working together to elevate the status of both Riesling and South Australia’s Eden Valley. The first release was the highly acclaimed 2002 vintage.
The two parties agreed on the name, mesh for all the images the word evoked. "This single word represents so much of the philosophy behind the wine – the weaving together of ideas & the combining of skills and knowledge". Robert Hill Smith
Mesh Eden Valley Riesling 2013 is green and vibrant in appearance. The aroma is zesty lemon and grapefruit with a hint of dried green herb and spice. The palate is lively and generous, with intense citrus fruit flavours and hints of talc. The wine finishes clean and dry with refreshing acidity.
As is the case with all great Eden Valley Rieslings, mesh will age gracefully and reliably into a mature wine under the screw-cap closure.
