Jim Barry The Florita Riesling (2023)

750mL / Clare Valley, SA / Australia

Category: Wine
Sub-Category: White Wine

This micro-batch, super-premium Riesling is the fruit of years of patience.

The Jim Barry team selected individual rows where the terra rossa and loam barely cover the deep limestone below. To guarantee the freshness of these precious grapes, we carefully picked batches to precisely fill the membrane press in the chill of night and destemmed the bunches without crushing them.

Wine has been flowing in the Clare Valley since 1851 and is an integral part of the culture. It is one of Australia’s most prestigious premium wine regions, most famous for its Riesling and Shiraz. A small area, accounting for less than 1.5% of Australia’s total wine production.

With its beautiful, rolling hills, ideal winter rainfall and Mediteranean climate, the Clare Valley carries a unique history and winemaking heritage.

Tasting Notes:

Jim Barry The Florita Riesling is an intense and powerful wine from an exceptional Clare Valley Riesling vintage.

Stone, mineral and white floral aromas, moving into white peach and citrus notes.

The nose delivers to the palate with intensified florals, citrus juice flavours and a long, concentrated finish.
