2015 Jim Barry Wines Cellar Release The Florita Riesling, Clare Valley

Released after 6 years in bottle, and you can totally understand, when you drink this, why this is a wise move. This is gloriously toasty: yellow flowers (there’s a buttercup vibe through the finish), hinoki, Golden Delicious apples, preserved lemons, yellow peach, pulverised quartz, saline acidity and a creamy undercurrent of crushed nuts. This is verging on sublime. Or perhaps it just is. EL 12.3% alc. RRP $65 / Drink 2022–2035 / Jim Barry Wines www.jimbarry.com
