2018 Jim Barry The Florita Riesling 750mL

The 2018 Jim Barry The Florita Riesling is sourced exclusively from the iconic Florita Vineyard in Watervale, Clare Valley—one of Australia’s most celebrated Riesling sites. Produced only from carefully selected fruit, this single-vineyard wine showcases the purity, finesse, and longevity that have made The Florita a benchmark Australian Riesling.

Brilliant pale straw with green hues, the bouquet reveals lifted aromas of lime blossom, lemon zest, grapefruit, green apple, and delicate floral notes, complemented by subtle wet slate and mineral characters. The palate is intensely focused, offering pure citrus fruit, vibrant natural acidity, and remarkable precision. A long, mineral-driven finish highlights the wine’s balance and elegance, making it enjoyable now while promising exceptional development over the next two decades.
