Jim Barry The Florita Riesling 375ml 2025

Mike Bennie - Halliday Wine Companion

Electric riesling. This has it all. Vim and vigour driven by tart citrus fruit characters, a glacial, saline core, crunchy green apple, touches of slate and river pebble, and a general sense of being brittle, crisp and laced with distinct minerality. So refreshing and energetic in its dart-shaped, slim-line frame. Pristine as all get out, too. In its vogue, this is stupendous.

The 2025 The Florita Riesling is spicy and tightly coiled, water white in the glass and layered with notes of citrus pith, pressed flowers and marmalade. In the mouth, the wine is mostly tense and focused, while the middle palate reveals some richness and toastiness, which is an attractive offset to the acidity. This is very good, as usual; although as usual, I find myself wanting to drink this as an older wine, since that is where the joy truly lies. It will live for 20 years without a fuss. 11.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
