Kanta Riesling – Egon Müller
Yes, no mistakes here. Egon Müller, the German Riesling supremo, has been making Riesliing in the Adelaide Hills since 2005 and this is no Müller-lite. Though dry, a European approach to winemaking means it’s far removed from Australia’s traditional whistle-clean, sometimes austere, citrus-dominated style. A natural ferment and lees ageing make for a rich texture, which sits well with its ripe orchard fruits and tropical papaya.
