Wolta Wolta Looosen Barry Riesling Chardonnay resulting in excellent fruit ripenessGreen tints. Amazing freshness and zest. Lime juice and slight yeastiness. Lively acidity that seems a touch higher than most vintages. Bright and incisive; high energy and real finesse. Tension, refinement, line and length. A beautiful wine indeed. 98 points.
