Jim Barry Lodge Hill Riesling, 2020

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, Lodge Hill is one of the highest vineyards in the Valley – at an altitude of 1575 feet – and is ideal for producing steely, minerally Rieslings, distinctive to the area.

 

TASTING NOTES: Aromas of fresh white peach, lime juice, and white florals with wet slate and minerally notes. A powerful Riesling with upfront lime leaf, followed by lime juice, white stone fruit and wet slate, all finishing with mouthwatering acidity. A wine built for the ages.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: One of the most distinctive styles of white wine, dry rieslings from the Clare and Eden Valley in south Australia have a distinctive limey twist that makes them a particularly good match for Asian and Asian-inspired food.
