Jim Barry The Lodge Hill Riesling 2024
DOZEN: $324.00 or $27.00 each
Palest of lemon hues, water-white at the rim. Lime curd, pastry and quartz aromas. A delightful palate with sweet lime notes, white flowers and a sense of seaspray minerality. Lots of complexity yet all seamless and flowing with great length. It remains balanced and poised right to the fine, lingering finish. Amazing value. (95) STUART KNOX, The Real Review
480 meters above sea level. And let me just say, while I don’t go into politics too much, I reckon I need a stiff drink tonight!
I reckon Lodge Hill often has something of a lavender perfume and this does too. Juicy lime and grapefruit, aniseed, lemongrass and plenty of spice, like cardamon in an exotic way. It’s bright and crunchy, a firm almost white peppery feel to texture, with a lime zest and tonic finish of good length. 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. (93+) GARY WALSH. The Wine Front
