- This wine is of immense purity and drive, bursting with intense aromas of lemon, lime, and citrus blossom. The tightly wound palate delivers laser-focused acidity and crisp lime juice at its core and shows all the hallmarks of Florida Riesling. It is ideal with Snapper and Mediterranean salsa.
The famed Florita Vineyard is synonymous with the classic grape variety and was planted with Riesling grapes by Leo Buring in 1962. In 1986, the Barry family acquired the 32-hectare property. Florita' is Spanish for 'little flower', and the first release of this micro-batch of premium Riesling was in 2004; it was the fruit of years of patience. Individual rows are selected where the terra rossa and loam soils barely cover the deep limestone below, and the vines deliver a wonderful elegance. The Clare Valley climate is continental, with a high diurnal temperature difference. The cool nights allow the Riesling vines to preserve the crisp natural acidity and delicate flavours.

| Winery | Certain names resonate strongly within Australian wine history, and Jim Barry is one of them. Jim Barry’s drive helped shape South Australia’s Clare Valley as a benchmark producer of world class Riesling and cemented it as one of Australia’s premier wine regions. Jim was the first qualified winemaker in the Clare Valley, graduating with a degree in oenology from the prestigious Roseworthy Agricultural College in 1947. Founded in 1959, Jim Barry Wines is still family-owned, with three generations of Roseworthy graduates. Jim’s son Peter became managing director in 1985, and today, Peter’s children Tom, Sam, and Olivia are the winemaker, commercial manager, and brand ambassador, respectively. Voted ‘2020 Winery of the Year' at the Halliday Wine Companion Awards, they produce highly acclaimed and award-winning wines. |
