If there is one name synonymous with Australian Riesling, it is John Vickery. Beginning with the iconic Leo Buring Riesling in 1955, John helped redefine Australian Riesling, championing the potential of Eden Valley and Watervale to produce dry wines of purity, longevity and strong regional character. Over a career spanning more than 50 years, he pioneered many of the techniques now fundamental to premium Riesling production, including cool fermentation, gentle fruit handling and the early adoption of screw caps.
Today, Vickery Wines continues that remarkable legacy in partnership with winemaker Phil Lehmann, sourcing fruit from exceptional vineyards across Eden Valley and Watervale. The result is a collection of Rieslings that reflect John's lifetime of knowledge, precision and uncompromising pursuit of quality — recognised by more than 50 trophies and 400 gold medals throughout his career.
