Tasting Notes - Kanta Riesling 2005 (Recommended)

Sourced from the Balhannah vineyard in Adelaide Hills, what makes this wine of high interest to Riesling freaks is the wine maker – Germany’s esteemed Egon Muller. Light pale gold in the glass. Rich nose, ripe, citrus fruits at the tropical end, some musk, almost gris-like. Big mouthfeel for the variety, more ripe, viscous fruit notes, again a touch of musk, with some broad oily notes. Powerful wine, perhaps more Alsatian than Adelaide Hills, but full of interest. Best Oz Riesling tried from SA in 2005 thus far.
