Since 1945 Leo Buring has established a reputation as Australia’s foremost maker of Riesling. At Leo Buring we only make Riesling. It is the grape variety that encapsulates everything we strive for; purity, elegance, time and place and the structure to age gracefully. In this quest we source our grapes from Australia’s premier Riesling regions, being the Clare Valley and the Eden Valley. These regions share similar pure fruit attributes, and the ability to age, but possess their own individual regional characters.
The 2022 Leo Buring Eden Valley Riesling displays pure citrus fruit with perfumed talc and white floral notes and underlying minerality, making it a perfect fresh compliment to clean vibrant dishes. The back label contains the International Riesling Scale - a guide that helps Riesling aficionados determine the style of a particular Riesling.

Cool-climate Eden Valley is no lush farmland with gently undulating hills: its rugged, windswept terrain and steeply sloping gradients are peppered with rocky outcrops and gnarled gum trees. Eden Valley’s ancient soils and its varied topography nourish a range of distinctive, aromatic and elegant wines. Traditional grape growing in the region focuses on sustainability and authenticity.
Good winter rains allowed for a healthy growing season and the establishment of protective canopy to the delicate fruit. The lead up to vintage and the ripening period was cool to mild with mostly dry conditions allowing for the fruit to develop vibrant and intense flavours with lovely natural acidity and minimal disease pressure. An exceptional Eden Valley vintage that will be referred to for years to come.
