The name Slate Hill is derived from the German Schieferhügel, evoking the steep slate slopes of the Mosel region as well as the distinctive terrain of our Wolta Wolta property in the Clare Valley, where the grapes are grown. Our aim was to craft a Riesling in the spirit of Wolta Wolta, but one that is more accessible and ready to enjoy.

"A vibrant and expressive nose leads with white peach, guava, and lime curd, underpinned by green apple, kaffir lime, and a subtle flintiness. Hints of orange zest and almond meal add complexity, while delicate floral and herbal notes of pink lemonade, lemon verbena, and lemon thyme lift the aromatic profile. The palate opens with a generous wave of white peach and blood orange richness before being drawn taut by a fine line of grapefruit acidity and chalky texture. A savoury lick of green olive rine and wet chalk nuances contribute to the wine's complexity, while the precision and balance create a teardrop-shaped flavour arc-generous on entry, narrowing to a long, focused finish." - Sam Barry, Tom Barry, Ernst Loosen
