The aromas are precise and beautifully restrained, revealing more detail with every swirl.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBone-dry and intensely focused, the palate carries concentrated citrus fruit along a line of electric acidity. There is a subtle chalky texture and saline mineral quality beneath the fruit, giving the wine remarkable shape and persistence. Powerful without feeling heavy, this is a thrilling Clare Valley Riesling that is compelling now but built to evolve for many years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou want a white wine that sharpens the senses and refuses to fade into the background.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrilled sea bass, mackerel, oysters, sashimi, Thai salads, salt and pepper squid or fresh goat’s cheese.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlorita means “little flower”, but the vineyard has a considerable place in Australian wine history. Located in Watervale, it was planted with Palomino in 1946 before being replanted with Riesling in 1962. Legendary winemaker John Vickery sourced fruit from Florita for the great Leo Buring Watervale Rieslings of the 1960s and 1970s. The Barry family purchased the vineyard in 1986, and The Florita was first released under the Jim Barry name in 2004. Only carefully selected rows from its shallow, loamy soils over calcareous siltstone are chosen for this flagship bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309414789505,"sku":null,"price":37.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/Untitled-design-1_5688043b-77cd-44a2-a754-3a396d5543b9.png?v=1780416711","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2022-the-florita-riesling-jim-barry","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
