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 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 480 metres - and is ideal for producing steely, minerally Rieslings, distinctive to the area.

The palate is dominated by brown lime, dried lime leaves and Bickford?s lime juice. Commanding attention on entry, the fruit is well weighted and framed with a driving acid.
