CHISWICK Woollahra partners with SA winemaker Leo Buring to celebrate the rise of Riesling

Riesling is having a bit of an Australian renaissance of late, and to celebrate, CHISWICK Woollahra and South Australia’s most renowned winemakers Leo Buring will join forces to create a one-of-a-kind food and wine experience.  To be held on Tuesday, 12th April at 6:30pm (for a 7pm start), the event will showcase the rich berry, fruit, and spice flavours that are signature to Riesling, as they sit side by side a four course menu and canapes created by owner and chef extraordinaire Matt Moran, CHISWICK Woollahra Head Chef, Richie Dolan, and Head Sommelier, Matt Dunne. 

The Leo Buring brand is Australia’s most well-known Riesling producer, having established itself in the famed Barossa Valley since 1934.  The chance to provide diners an evening to enjoy Rieslings during its resurgence was important to the CHISWICK team.

“CHISWICK is built on the philosophy of supporting local producers and suppliers and so we are proud to be partnering with one of Australia’s most accomplished winemakers in Leo Buring. The menu has been specially created to reflect the unique flavours in each of the wines, with the Riesling and Shiraz varieties perfectly complementing our four- course offering”, says Dolan.

The menu (see below) include the celebrated Moran family lamb, as well as the final remaining bottles of the Leo Buring 1971 Shiraz and the Hawkesbury goat curd, fresh figs, baby radish served with a 2004 Leo Buring ‘Leonay’ Riesling.

The menu will consist of:
