2023 Leo Buring DWA15 Leonay Riesling

A national treasure, Leo Buring has for decades been a benchmark brand noted for the excellence and longevity of its riesling from the Eden and Clare Valleys in particular. Founded by German-born winemaker Paul Leopold (Leo) Buring, whose experience had seen him work for companies like Spring Vale, Minchinbury and Lindeman, it is no longer associated with a wide range of wides, but is today a specialist riesling label. While the brand has lost its visibility in recent years, those in the know always look to its riesling collection since they still act as an industry benchmark. Do not be deceived by their (lack of) price or brand presence - these are very fine wines indeed.
Alc. 11.5%

Other Reviews....
This offers a more gentle and understated reflection of Clare riesling, soft in texture with faint juiciness through all the requisite citrus and green apple, floral and talc-like mineral characters in the mix. It has perfume and prettiness on its side, a pristine reflection of the fruit and mineral notes, good extension of flavour and even a little trill of chalky pucker to tame the latent slosh found in the palate. It feels well made, well judged and well balanced. A treat.
