Kanta Adelaide Hills Balhannah Vineyard Egon Muller Riesling 2007
This tastes as much like a good quality gewurztraminer as it does riesling - in this case, not a bad thing. It smells and tastes strongly of rose petals and Turkish delight, the cut of lemon infused thoroughly by perfumed aroma and flavour. There are flashes of peach, lime and chalk too - this is a complex young riesling with an assertive mouthfeel - it's grippy. It's worth seeking out; it's different. Drink: 2008-2014. 94 points. Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront
Egon has done it again… the 07 Kanta shows an intense, lifted bouquet full of citrus blossom, lime skin, and banana peel. It has a lovely mouth-feel, the cold maceration and lees contact giving a rich, structured, creamy texture to the palate. Lemon and lime flavours abound with subtle hints of pear and guava creating a complex fruit compote. Fresh acidity ensures the palate remains razor sharp and focussed through to the end of the long, clean, bright finish.
