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 2017 Leo Buring DWU57 Leonay Riesling from Eden Valley has developed beautifully from 5 years bottle maturation, with layers of flavour and impeccable length showcasing how Eden Valley Riesling of pedigree can evolve with time.

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.
A wet Spring leading into the 2017 vintage allowed for vines to establish a lush, healthy canopy, protecting the fruit from excessive light exposure or heat. Mild temperatures over ripening, without any prolonged heat allowed for the development of fruit with great finesse and delicacy as well as intense varietal flavours and good natural acidity.
