The Lodge Hill Clare Valley Dry Riesling
One of my all time favourites which remains one of the world's best value for money Rieslings. The vineyard's altitude lends a balance of beautiful purity of lemon & line fruit with both freshness and minerality. Fabulous, and with good potential longevity.

1 person found it helpfulApr 28th, 2016Seriously crafted in an intruiging way, as the lofty acidity levels will scare most people off! But I love it:) Very dry on the palate, with compressed fruit flavors, all tilting towards the unripe green/citrus side of the flavors spectrum. In a way monolithic, but this is personal stuff, aimed at the connoisseur. I wouldn't be surprised if this will surprise us all in 10+ years time. 90+?
