Pale gold with glints of green, this Riesling walks a fine line between power and precision. Aromas of lime zest, green apple, white flowers and crushed slate rise from the glass, underpinned by a gentle note of toast and honey from time in bottle. The palate is taut and textural — bright citrus and mineral drive balanced by subtle creaminess and a long, savoury finish. Complex, confident, and utterly distinctive.

For when: you want a white that speaks with quiet authority.
Pairs with: oysters, roast chicken, or a plate of sashimi and still conversation.
If this wine were a moment, it’d be sunrise over two continents — calm, luminous, and rare.

Wolta Wolta is the brilliant collaboration between Erni Loosen of the Mosel and Tom Barry of Jim Barry Wines — a meeting of German precision and Clare Valley purity. Whole-bunch pressed, wild-fermented, and matured for 11 months in large oak fuder before resting for years in bottle, the 2017 shows how Riesling can evolve into something profound without losing its vibrant core.
