Perfectly ripe black plum and forest berry compote, with hints of pepper, spice, and a touch of sweet-cured meat on the nose. The palate is coiled and purposeful on entry and feels like it wants to explode. With a satin flow, a bright core of berry fruits and hints of spicy oak, this a very moreish wine.
A pastoral run dating back to 1839, and originally named Wolta Wolta, the 329 acre Lodge Hill Vineyard is situated on the Eastern Ranges, five kilometres east of the Clare township. 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 the Clare Valley.” However in 1979, Jim Barry planted his first Shiraz in this location, and it has gone on to produce our award winning Lodge Hill Shiraz.

90 Point Rated - Mike Bennie Halliday Wine Companion
"A well put together, supple and medium-bodied expression of Clare shiraz. It's got a strong element of appealing, but present, licorice/anise throughout set amongst black jellybean, blackcurrant jelly sniffs and tastes with a suggestion of brined black olive. It's a lip-smacking and satisfying, deeply flavoured but approachable style of red. Strong regional character for the price point is great news. Dive in."
90 Point Rated - Gary Walsh The Wine Front
"Black cherry, dried raspberry, nuts and toffee, with some toasty coconut oak. It’s medium to full-bodied, full of sweet cherry and spiced oak flavour, some praline too, with silty fine grained tannin, oak kind of obvious, yet cuddly and assuring, and a nutty and sweet red fruited finish of solid length. Yeah. it plays to the crowd, but that’s ok by me."
