2025 Leo Buring Clare Valley Dry Riesling

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 2025 vintage in Clare Valley was marked by challenging yet distinctive conditions. Winter and spring saw well below average rainfall, leading to early budburst and an accelerated growing season. Continued dry conditions through summer and autumn lead to the earliest harvest on record. Warm temperatures drove rapid sugar and flavour development, with acids remaining soft and approachable even at relatively low sugar levels. As a result, harvesting decisions were made early to capture flavour and freshness and maintain natural acidity. Wines show good regional expression, aromatics and flavour depth with relatively low alcohol levels and approachable acid structure.

Nose - Lively lemon and lime fruits heightened with notes of citrus blossom and mineral flecks. Great purity and aromatics.

Palate - Pure and fresh with clean citrus zest fruit flavour and lemon sherbet, supported by mouth-watering mineral slate. Delicate yet powerful with a core of juicy citrus flavours running the length of the palate. Vibrant and salivating acid line drives the palate to a crisp finish. Classic Clare Riesling.
