Leo Buring
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.
In our quest, we source our grapes from Australia’s premier Riesling regions. This includes the South Australian Clare and Eden Valleys, which share similar pure fruit attributes, and the ability to age, but possess their own individual regional characters. As well as the inclusion of vineyards in Northern Tasmania, with its diverse range of terroir and climate introducing a nuanced take on Riesling. All individual in their own right, shining a light on a classic varietal.
Leo Buring is consistently recognised for the exceptional quality of Riesling it produces, gaining outstanding wine critic scores and wine show results both domestically and internationally.
Clare and Eden Valley
Each year we source the best parcel of grapes from either the Clare or Eden Valley to create Leonay - our premier Riesling of each vintage - that expresses the purity, elegance and longevity embodied in the Leonay history.

Riesling expresses the nature of its growing conditions like no other variety,
earning its nickname as 'the naked grape'. The combination of climate, soil,
aspect and location all add up to create discernibly different characters in
Rieslings from a given region.
For this reason Leo Buring has created Leopold,
a unique wine that showcases the incredible quality of Tasmanian Riesling

Meet Marie
After graduating in 2000 from the University of Adelaide with first Class honours in Oenology, Marie received the Southcorp wine scholarship. This allowed her to travel and work across the Australian wine regions of Coonawarra, Barossa, Sunraysia and Great Western.
Following these experiences, Marie worked at Lindeman's NSW and Victorian wineries before moving to the Barossa to focus on Wolf Blass wines. International vintages in Tuscany and Burgundy along the way have fuelled her passion to keep learning.

2019 saw another opportunity for her as she stepped into the Senior White and Sparkling winemaking role at the TWE Barossa winery.
Marie feels incredibly honoured to craft the Leo Buring Rieslings. Her winemaking philosophy is to express the vineyard and regional nuances and not leave her ‘fingerprints’ on the wines.
Marie is an active wine show judge, AWAC guest judge and Len Evans scholar. She was awarded the 2024 Barossa Winemaker of the year for her contribution to the Barossa and Leo Buring.
