2021 Egon Muller Kanta Riesling, Adelaide Hills

Fruit was hand picked and whole-bunch pressed, without any additions. Wild fermented to dry. Lees handling provides additional nourishment. Tight, steely, sulphurous and limey upon opening. The bane of screw cap. An aggressive swoosh liberates camphor, orange bitters and cumquat. The fly of chalky salinity, juicy acidity and Meyer lemon pucker, serves as the lattice, the stage, to drive this delicious wine into a long future.

Kanta Riesling by Egon Müller is a unique winemaking partnership where German tradition and precision meets the premium, cool climate fruit from the Adelaide Hills. Kanta partners, Egon Müller and Michael Andrewartha are pleased to announce the fifth release from this unique, cross-cultural winemaking project. Since its inception in 2005 they have proudly watched Kanta come of age.

Slightly more opulent than previous vintages. Aromas of ripe stone fruits, lime zest and orange peel. Spring blossoms, an elegant touch of petroleum and a lovely minerality support the fruity aromatics, giving the wine additional layers of complexity. In the mouth, the refreshing acidity is balanced by a round mouthfeel.
