Leo Buring Clare Valley RieslingMore subtle than its Eden Valley cousin, the 2005 Leo Buring Clare Valley Riesling presents the same quality and excellent value for money. This wine was tasted blind along with the Eden Valley and Leonay Rieslings, both from 2005.

Subtle nose with hints of pear and floral notes, the palate was also more subtle than the eden valley or leonay and consisted of sour apple and limes backed by controlled acidity. The officail tasting notes can be found here.

Score: 8/10
Would I buy this wine again?
If the Eden Valley Riesling was unavailable, in a heartbeat. Excellent value for money at around $14 a bottle.

  1. I thought you liked the Clare more than the Eden as well?
