Jim Barry 'The Florita' Riesling 2017 375ml

One of the greatest single vineyard wines from the Clare Valley and indeed consistently one of Australia's best rieslings, year-in-year-out.

"Superlative Clare! Grapefruit pulp, lemon zest, jasmine, bath salts and Thai herb notes stream across a bow of limestone-derived minerality and palate-whetting acidity. This is long, penetrative across a multitude of layers and yet, despite the razor-sharp definition, relaxed. There is nothing hard or abrasive about this. It flows long with alacrity in its step! This will reward patience in the cellar." 97pts - Ned Goodwin - Wine Companion

"Famous vineyard. Has anyone clocked Sam Barry’s beard of late? I’m thinking he’s going to be fashioning some armor made from heavy black metal soon. Essence of Clare Riesling, intensity of fruit, structure and drive, lemon/lime, firm almost dusty texture, fresh squeezed lime and rind with a dash of tonic, great length. Benchmark, I feel. Keep as long as you can, or drink now with something salty and tasty." 95+pts - Gary Walsh - WineFront
