\"Egon<\/p>\n

The Adelaide Hills isn\u2019t so well known for Riesling. Tonight I tried this pair of wines from Kanta, which is a collaboration between Egon M\u00fcller and Michael Andrewartha of East End Cellars in Adelaide that\u2019s been going since the 2005 vintage. The Balhannah vineyard is owned by Shaw & Smith, and the soils are sandy loam over red clay, with an average altitude of 420 metres.<\/p>\n

Egon M\u00fcller Kanta Riesling 2009 Adelaide Hills, Australia<\/strong>
\nThis is from the Balhannah Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills, and it is made using wild yeast and extended lees contact. This is really aromatic with a bit of development on the nose (slight petrol and toast notes), and a palate with complex grapefruit, lemon, nut, toast and ripe apple notes. There\u2019s also a bit of creaminess. This wine is textural and quite refined, with nice complexity. 91\/100<\/p>\n

Egon M\u00fcller Kanta Riesling 2014 Adelaide Hills, Australia<\/strong>
\nTight, dry and quite mineral with lovely bright lemon and grapefruit characters. Steely and a bit nervy, this has lovely detail and really good acidity. There\u2019s a citrussy precision to this wine with a hint of herbiness and very bright acidity. Long, mineral finish. This wine has edges and complexity. 92\/100<\/p>\n
