Mesh Eden Valley Riesling 2010

|
mesh Eden Valley Riesling 2010 is green and vibrant in appearance. The aroma is zesty lemon and grapefruit with a hint of dried herbs. 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 Stelvin closure.
The 2010 vintage growing season began with a cool, wet September and October that meant that the Riesling vines grew slowly. However, beautiful weather through November and December resulted in strong vines that flowered without impediment. An even summer followed with cool nights and no heat spikes - perfect for the ripening of flavours in the berries.
The Eden Valley vineyards selected for this project were chosen for their potential to deliver fruit most in keeping with the unique characters of Eden Valley and the jointly agreed wine style/philosophy. Our aim is to make a wine with a strong citrus flavour and slight mineral profile, typical of the region. We look for long, rich flavours with a greater emphasis on power, generosity, persistence and texture.
South Australia’s Eden Valley, high in the eastern ranges surrounding the Barossa Valley, averages between 400 and 600 metres in altitude. Soils are rocky grey loam and acidic. Winter rainfall is abundant (typically 50% more than the Barossa Valley). Temperatures are cooler than the Barossa Valley (up to 2 degrees cooler) and the growing season longer. Cooling breezes from the region’s gullies and hills ensure gradual ripening and maximum flavour development.
