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.
The goal of Leo Buring is simple; to make the best Riesling in Australia and Leonay is our premier Riesling of each vintage. Each year we source the best parcel of grapes from either the Clare or Eden Valley that expresses the purity, elegance and longevity embodied in the Leonay history. In exceptional vintages, like 2013, a select parcel is identified for extended bottle maturation before release.
The 2013 Leo Buring DWQ97 Leonay Riesling from Eden Valley has developed exceptionally from 9 years bottle age, intensifying in flavour and complexity and is a great example of mature Eden Valley Riesling of pedigree.

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.
The 2013 vintage was characterised by dry conditions and an early and quick onset of ripening. Flavour development was excellent and fruit was harvested in pristine condition without any disease influence. Yields were slightly above average and fruit developed steadily displaying lovely natural balance.
