Loosen Barry Slate Hill Riesling 2023 750ml

Bright, Mineral, and Beautifully Balanced — A Transcontinental Riesling Collaboration of Purity and Precision Loosen Barry Slate Hill Riesling 2023 is a stunning expression of two Riesling masters, Dr. Ernst Loosen from Germany’s Mosel and Peter Barry of Jim Barry Wines in the Clare Valley. Combining German finesse with Australian intensity, this wine reflects both heritage and innovation. The result is a vibrant, slate driven Riesling of remarkable purity, texture, and energy. Tasting Notes Aroma: Lime zest, green apple, and jasmine with subtle notes of white peach and crushed slate. Palate: Zesty and elegant, showing lemon curd, green apple, and fine minerality supported by taut acidity. Finish: Long, crisp, and mineral with a lingering citrus and saline freshness. Food Pairing / Serving Suggestions Perfect with oysters, fresh seafood, sushi, or Thai-style salads. Its clean acidity also pairs beautifully with spicy dishes, grilled vegetables, or goat’s cheese. Serve well chilled for ultimate precision. About the Winery The Loosen Barry partnership began in 2010 as a friendship between two great Riesling families, Jim Barry Wines (Clare Valley, Australia) and Dr. Loosen (Mosel, Germany). Their shared passion for the variety led to a series of collaborative wines made in both hemispheres, exploring the balance between Old World minerality and New World fruit intensity. Slate Hill is produced in the Clare Valley using minimal intervention to preserve the purest expression of site and variety. Cellaring Potential Drink now for its brightness or cellar confidently until 2035 for honeyed, toasty complexity that develops with age. Collector’s Note The Loosen Barry Slate Hill Riesling has earned 95 points from Halliday Wine Companion and Gold at the Clare Valley Wine Show, praised for its purity, texture, and seamless balance. The 2023 release continues this transcontinental tradition,  a Riesling of tension, focus, and global pedigree.
