Florita' is Spanish for 'little flower'. Located fifteen kilometres south of Clare township in the tiny village of Watervale, the famous Riesling vineyard was planted to Palamino in 1946 for making Fino Sherry, and replanted to Riesling in 1962. The birthplace of Leo Buring Watervale Riesling, Florita was where legendary winemaker John Vickery sourced his grapes for his great Watervale Rieslings of the 1960s and 1970s. The 80-acre vineyard was sold by globally-owned multi-national company, Linderman's to brother's Mark, Peter and John Barry in 1986.
The Jim Barry Florita Riesling 2017 is a wine of immense drive and purity with a palate of powerful, pure fruit and great length of flavour. Enjoy citrus flavours and a tight, linear acidity that holds the wine in great stead for the future. It is a magnificent benchmark dry Riesling to be enjoyed now or with careful cellaring for the next ten years.
"This has some attractive, reductive kick with a gently chalky edge and some complex spices and ginger, as well as lemons and white peaches. The palate has silky, sleek drive and treads a delicate line of balance. Long, taut finish. Drink or hold." 96 Points - Nick Stock, www.jamessuckling.com
