Critic reviews
"Tasted at the Armagh Hut with Sam and Tom Barry, the 2016 The Florita Riesling is showing some color development for the first time in this vertical. On the nose, there is roasted/toasted pear, red apple skins, a hint of bitter walnut and loads of brine. This is salty, slinky and tense—very impressive. This is quiet and pretty but driven. It is excellent and will be long lived. 2016 was a great red year in Clare."

"This is packed with fresh lemons, limes and some grilled lemons. The palate has superb freshness. Acidity clenches the rich fruit in tight and delivers a long, crystalline finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
James Suckling, May 2020, JamesSuckling.com
"Tell tale twist of gunsmoke reduction on the opening even at 10 years old, then the opens up to creamy white flowers, bright vivid citrus and lime juice, elderflower blossom, restrained, poised, juicy and full of joy. Love this. A searing 2.8ph."
Jane Anson, July 2026, JaneAnson.com
"Brilliantly fresh. Juicy and with a lovely citrus intensity. Lemon rind, lemon curd, tarte au citron, with a little verbena. A hint of that Riesling petrol forecourt note, but really just a touch. Beautifully structured, intensely youthful and intensely chiselled by a very vibrant, salivating and authentic freshness. Lovely. 96."
