2016 | Egon Muller | Kanta Riesling

Kanta is a brilliant Adelaide Hills Riesling made by the Mosel legend, Egon Müller, in collaboration with Michael Andrewartha of East End Cellars in Adelaide. First made in 2005, the winemaking has not been changed, with fermentations occurring with indigenous vineyard yeasts after cold-soaking for 8 hours. The wine is then held in tank on lees for over 6 months prior to bottling with an additional 12 months or so before release. The 2016 vintage is a dry, medium-bodied 100% Riesling with pure citrus and mineral complexity.
