"The Lodge Hill" Dry Riesling 2011

Jim Barry purchased the Lodge Hill vineyard in 1977, as he was sure 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.

Sight: 
Crystal like clarity. Straw colour and green hues.
Smell: 
Rich and lifted. Lime Citrus, pink grapefruit and a hint of spice.
Taste: 
Supportive of aromas. Zingy natural acid backbone, with flavours of mandarin, white peach and strawberry.
