Forged out of mutual respect for the noble variety Riesling, this collaboration of ideas pays homage to the wine making techniques used by the Loosen family for generations, and the vineyard practices of the Barry family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe German-style Riesling made in Australia is called Wolta Wolta, (Aboriginal for 'good water') in honour of one the Barry family's most significant and successful land purchases, which later became known as Lodge Hill. The Australian-style Riesling, made with grapes from the Erdener Treppchen Vineyard in Germany, is called Walhalla, (pronounced Valhalla) named after the majestic hall ruled over by Odin in Norse mythology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was no simple task for an Australian winemaker to make a German-style Riesling and vice versa, but when each winemaker can draw on forty years of experience of their counterpart, the possibilities are genuinely intriguing, and even though Peter and Tom Barry were uncertain they could make such a different style of Riesling, they were delighted with the outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis project is not about sales. This is a project of passion, designed to test the skills, explore the possibilities, and hopefully, get people thinking about Riesling in a different way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-v-1481ab58=\"\" class=\"tasting-notes-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-v-1481ab58=\"\" class=\"tasting-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-v-1481ab58=\"\" class=\"label\"\u003eColour\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-1481ab58=\"\" class=\"description\"\u003ePale Straw\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-v-1481ab58=\"\" class=\"tasting-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-v-1481ab58=\"\" class=\"label\"\u003eAroma\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-1481ab58=\"\" class=\"description\"\u003eOyster shell, sea breeze, gun flint with a brown lime backing and fresh citrus.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-v-1481ab58=\"\" class=\"tasting-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-v-1481ab58=\"\" class=\"label\"\u003ePalate\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-1481ab58=\"\" class=\"description\"\u003eThe second it is in the mouth it has a silk like softness in its acid, the fruit weight starts early and drives deep through the palate.
