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.

Egon Muller

Broadly considered to make some of the greatest Rieslings in the world, the Egon Müller winery has been in the same family since 1797. Farming on the steep slopes of the Mosel valley, the estate owns around one third of the famous Scharzofberg vineyard, one of the region's greatest. That parcel includes three hectares of ungrafted vines - a rarity in any European grape growing region.

Extreme care is taken in the vineyard and all grapes are hand harvested. Fruit is pressed without any skin contact to preserve freshness and fermentation takes place in large, one thousand litre casks in cool cellars beneath the valley where they rest for around six months before bottling. The dry wines are clean and fresh with an unmistakable elegance while the sweeter wines (Spatlese, Auslese and TBA) offer a richness and depth of flavour that make them some of the greatest in Germany.
