After the success of last year's Mitchell’s Riesling, we’re pleased to offer another excellent Clare Valley Riesling at a heavy discount… this time from Jim Barry.
This showcase Riesling is what the Clare does best from the Barry Family’s Lodge Hill vineyard. It’s an A-grade wine from a high quality Clare Valley producer - a superbly bracing, concentrated and limey Riesling we're able to sell for just $150.00 per case ($12.50/bottle… i.e. half price).
Lodge Hill was Wolta Wolta pastoral run from 1839. Jim Barry bought it in 1977 for The Lodge Hill Vineyard, convinced it would “produce some of the best Riesling in the Clare Valley.” At 480 metres above sea level in Clare Valley's Eastern Ranges, its grapes receive concentrated bursts of sunlight and cool nights that encourage slower ripening. This helps deliver beautiful natural acidity and citrus characters that ripen early because of the small crop it produces. Gentle pressing and a rapid move into the fermentation preserves the natural fruit flavours.
Essentially, it’s just a deliciously drinkable. So why not buy some and help others by funding our local and overseas Rotary service work, while giving your friends and family a very good deal. This fundraiser will help our Rotary Club build water supplies in Timor Lesté, rescue Afghans stranded in Pakistan as they flee the Taliban and also help recent migrants to Australia quickly feel welcome.
The wine is ready for collection, so please contact me or Rob by email or phone below to order it. Whilst our intention is to sell it by the dozen, half a dozen is an option at $75.00.
