Overview
Overview
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 2023 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.

Eden Valley, South Australia
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.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
Good winter rains allowed for a healthy growing season and the establishment of protective canopy to the delicate fruit. Spring saw above average rainfall and cool conditions, delaying budburst and shoot growth, leading to a later than usual harvest. The ripening period was cool with some disease pressure. Fortunately, dry conditions in the final stages of ripening allowed the fruit to develop to its optimum with punchy flavours and bright natural acidity. An expressive vintage with strong regional personality
