Year after year, Lodge Hill proves why Clare Valley is one of the world’s best regions for Riesling. Planted by Jim Barry in 1977 on the cool, elevated slopes of the Eastern Ranges, this vineyard sits at 480 metres above sea level, where warm days and chilly nights help develop bright citrus flavours and crisp natural acidity.
The 2024 vintage is all about purity and freshness. Aromas of lime juice, citrus blossom, and white peach lead into a lively palate packed with brown lime, dried lime leaf, and that classic tangy finish. Gentle pressing and a quick move to fermentation keep everything vibrant and precise, making this a Riesling that’s instantly appealing but built to age.
A go-to for lovers of Clare Valley Riesling, Lodge Hill is great value and an easy match for seafood, Thai dishes, or just a warm afternoon with good company.

"Lots of complexity yet all seamless and flowing with great length. It remains balanced and poised right to the fine, lingering finish. Amazing value."

"I reckon Lodge Hill often has something of a lavender perfume, and this does too... A little too spicy and rugged, perhaps, but very good. I think this wine will turn the corner with a few more years under its belt."
