Review of Jeanneret Big Fine Girl Riesling 2024.

Jeanneret Big Fine Girl Riesling 2024
$30, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, Clare Valley.

This is a riesling of texture, character and sheer fruit intensity. It kicks goals on every front. It tastes essentially of lime juice but then tonic-like characters, sweet spice and lime leaf notes also waft attractively throughout. There’s a little more texture here, a suggestion of plumpness if you will, which adds to the wine’s overall impression of power. It’s good. It works. 92 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
