- A wine of immense purity and drive that is bursting with intense aromas ,of lemon, lime and citrus blossom. The tightly wound palate delivers laser focussed acidity and crisp lime juice at its core and shows all the hallmarks of Florita Riesling. Ideal with Snapper and Mediterranean salsa.
The famed Florita Vineyard is synonymous with the classic grape variety and was
planted with Riesling grapes by Leo Buring in 1962. In 1986, the Barry family acquired
the 32 hectare property. Florita' is Spanish for 'little flower' and the first release of this
micro-batch of premium Riesling was in 2004; it was the fruit of years of patience.
Individual rows are selected where the terra rossa and loam soils barely cover the deep
limestone below and the vines deliver a wonderful elegance. The Clare Valley climate is
continental, with a high diurnal temperature difference. The cool nights allow the
Riesling vines to preserve the crisp natural acidity and delicate flavours.
