{"title":"Riesling","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"729\" data-start=\"49\"\u003eRiesling is one of the most transparent grapes in the world, a variety that seems to absorb every nuance of soil, climate, and season, then translate it into crystal-clear flavour. In cooler regions like Germany’s Mosel or Rheingau, it shimmers with green apple, lime, white peach, and those signature notes of slate and blossom. Move to Alsace or Austria and it gains a little more weight and spice; head to Australia’s Clare or Eden Valleys and it bursts with lime zest, jasmine, and a thrilling mineral crunch. What makes Riesling so captivating is its precision: high natural acidity that feels like a spine of light, carrying the fruit with effortless lift and definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1348\" data-start=\"731\"\u003eBut Riesling’s true brilliance is its range. It can be bone-dry, taut, and chiselled; delicately off-dry with a whisper of sweetness; or lusciously rich from late-harvest or botrytised fruit. Yet across this spectrum, it never loses clarity or balance. Winemakers rarely hide it behind oak, Riesling doesn’t need it, and as it ages, it evolves into something mesmerising: honey, spice, and that famous petrol note, all woven into a silky, harmonious whole. It’s a grape for purists and dreamers alike,  expressive, age-worthy, and endlessly refreshing, a wine that captures the very essence of place with every sip.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"2008-the-florita-riesling-jim-barry","title":"2008 The Florita Riesling, Jim Barry","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis legendary dry Riesling from Jim Barry has matured under optimum conditions and displays the complexities that fine Australian Riesling develops over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Florita Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis story is best told by famous Australian wine writer, Huon Hooke and head of the Barry Family, Peter Barry who below tell the wonderful story of Florita…..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt starts in 1946, just after the war, when Leo Buring bought land at Watervale and planted Pedro ximénez for sherry – the preferred wine of Australians at the time.

The vineyards were planted on the orders of the Roman Emperor Charlemagne. Planted solely with Riesling grapes in 1720, Schloss Johannisberg was the world’s first Riesling Estate and plays a significant part in wine history. It was here in 1775 that the Spätlese quality was discovered using late-picked grapes suffering from “noble rot”.

This unique vineyard sees the 50° parallel run directly through the vineyard and the forest on the top of the Taunus hillsides protects the vines from cold winds. The vines produce limited yields and the grapes are carefully harvested by hand.
