Loosen Barry Wolta Wolta Riesling

The friendship between Ernst Loosen of the Dr. Loosen Estate in Germany, and Peter Barry of Jim Barry Wines, Australia, began in 1995 in London. Forged out of a mutual respect for the noble variety Riesling, this collaboration of ideas pays homage to the winemaking techniques used by the Loosen family for generations, and the vineyard practices of the Barry family. The grapes for this wine are grown in an area of the Clare Valley known as Wolta Wolta, which is an Aboriginal word meaning ‘good water’.
