Was better weather for Rose!

Was it a drier style?

Best Rose tends to use Grenache.

Turkey Flat
Charlie Melton.

Mataro. Which might be why i liked it
I love grenache but not as a rose

It was drier but also a good level of acidity.
Nothing id buy enmasse and 39 degs outside may have helped it along.

Both top shelf shiraz were excellent

39 + 40 degree heat not the most conducive for winery visiting.
but popped into Thorn-Clarke on saturday. some cracking wines (even a rose i didn't mind)

the William Randell & Ron Thorn worth the $$

I've never been there, on the list now!

I like a good Rose, can't be too sweet though.

Langmeils Rose is great, uses a Cabernet.
Gorgeous Grenache Rose is pretty good too.


It's the same for whites, like a crisp white like a good Pinot Gris.

Last night finished off a 2011 Barrett Sav Blanc which I forgot about. Was surprised it was still in very good shape & went beautifully with my Webber marinated chicken with white wine, lemon, lime & coated in freshly made chilli paste.

Reckon I've driven past the street sign for it a million times but never quite got there.
Glad I did

Have had the Murray Street 2019 GMS over the past 2 nights & very enjoyable drop.

Taking Tuesday off for a visit to the Barossa & plan on giving them & a few other wineries a visit.

Kalleske brothers are also great to chat to & have full bodied Barossa reds. As well as Shiraz, great Grenache, Tempranillo & Durif. GSM for every day drinking.

Bumping this post as a five of us had a personalised tour with Troy Kalleske on Tuesday, including tasting samples out of barrel.

Really worth doing if you have a chance as get to try the same wines in different barrels to see how oak influences wine. Eg. Sampled Moppa Shiraz with new & old French oak as well as old Hungarian oak. Uses roughly 25% new oak so fruit is not overpowered & let the fruit do the talking.

Troy was very generous with his time & passionate wine maker who was the 1st organically certified.

We then tasted nearly his full range at cellar door .. & purchased some for the cellar, including Johann George Shiraz for a special occasion.

For whites, really enjoyed the Chenin Semi blend. Straight Semillon great too.

GSM is great value & we shared a bottle over lunch at the Greenoch pub (walking distance).

Does the alternative varieties really well - Tempranillo, Zinfandel & the Duriff is one of the best I have had.

But he does both Grenache & Shiraz brilliantly. Old Vine Grenache is top notch & Shiraz at different price points all very enjoyable.

Drinking a Hither and Yon Nero in the sun at their cellar door on the High Street in Willunga is a nice way to spend an arvo.
