Framed with zippy grapefruit, the nose of the wine is bursting with lime leaf, citrus rind and yellow melons. On the palate, it exhibits classic Clare flavours, including white stone fruit, lime juice, lemon verbena and old fashioned lemonade. It has a plush line throughout with plenty of length and girth.
Originally a pastoral run dating back to 1839, and originally named Wolta Wolta, Jim Barry purchased the land for The Lodge Hill Vineyard in 1977 as he was sure it would “produce some of the best Riesling in the Clare Valley.” Situated at 480 meters above sea level and situated on the Eastern Ranges of the Clare Valley, the grapes at our Lodge Hill Vineyard are exposed to concentrated bursts of sunlight and cool nights which encourage slower ripening. This helps deliver beautiful natural acidity and citrus characters that ripen early because of the small crop it produces. Gentle pressing and a rapid move into the fermentation allows the natural fruit flavours to be preserved.
93 Point Rated - Erin Larkin James Halliday's Wine Companion
"This is poised, mineral and superfine. The fruit is restrained, and spools out over the cool finish. You know though, it's deceptive, because the fruit isn't so obvious or upfront, yet it is still concentrated, and lingers long after the wine has gone. Very, very pretty."
92 Point Rated - Stuart Knox The Real Review
"Uber pale yellow colour in the glass. Lemon pith, baguette crust and lime blossom aromas. Tight and focused, all about lemon and lime with a hint of chalky-minerality. Good length and finishes with a lovely crunch of acidity. Classic"
