About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of RieslingClare Valley, AustraliaThe story of Riesling in Australia is as old as the wine industry itself. The famed Florita Vineyard is synonymous with the classic grape variety and was established by Leo Buring in 1962. In 1986 the Barry family acquired the 80 acre property and began to write the next chapter in the famous vineyard’s history. A wine of immense drive and purity, the palate displays powerful, pure fruit with great length of flavour.

Bright pale green; complex and fragrant herb and lime blossom aromas, then a complete change of pace with delicacy and purity taking over, some apple joining the citrus; precisely balanced acidity takes over on the finish.
