Florita

The Vintage Journal Jim Barry Florita Vertical

The Clare Valley’s historic Florita Vineyard at Watervale was the source of John Vickery’s exquisite Leo Buring DW series. Today the Barry family have returned the vineyard’s reputation to be amongst the nation’s leading sources of fine, ageworthy riesling as evidenced by a recent full vertical tasting stretching back to the inaugural 2004 vintage.
