2024 Jim Barry Lodge Hill Riesling

Jim Barry purchased the Lodge Hill vineyard in 1977, convinced that it would produce some of the best Riesling in Clare. Situated on the eastern ranges of the township of Clare, it is one of the highest vineyards in the Valley at an altitude of 480 metres, and is ideal for producing steely, minerally Rieslings, distinctive to the area.
Brilliant water like colour with a faint tinge of green around the outskirts. Jumping out of the glass are intense lime and citrus scents which are followed by some orange rind, chalky talc and mineral notes. Zesty lime and lemon fruits are underscored by crisp acidity that provides laser like focus. Granny Smith apple and steely mineral elements ensue. Finishes dry with a zingy feel to the tense finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 12%
