Riesling is regarded as one of the finest white wine grapes in the world and is even referred to by many as “The King”. Much of the ado about Riesling comes from its incredible versatility, with winemakers able to explore a range of styles from bone-dry to unctuously sweet. The varietal is also popular for its age-worthiness, with a dramatic evolution taking place over the course of a decade. We truly believe that a life well lived is one that has experienced a quality Riesling at over 10 years of age. Thankfully this varietal is equally adored in its absolute youth – not all of us have the patience.

Today the winery that he eponymously founded continues with a dedicated and exclusive focus on one varietal; can you guess which one that is? Read up on Leo Buring.
