2018 Loosen Barry Wolta Wolta Riesling, Jim Barry, Clare Valley

2018 Loosen Barry Wolta Wolta Riesling, Jim Barry, Clare Valley

This is the second incarnation of a collaboration between the Barrys and Ernie Loosen. It's made from vines planted in 1979 in one block of the Lodge Hill vineyard. Fermented in a 3,000 litre German oak foudre, left on the lees for 12 months, and aged for a further year in stainless steel, the Wolta Wolta is pure, textural and energetic. There's a savoury character to the wine, and phenolics that suggest this will be very long lived indeed. The wine finishes rich and long, with lemon blossom, wet stones, and a flinty, ethereal character.
