The crisp, tart, Loire Valley-styled 2005 Clarry’s White is a blend of 70% Semillon and 30% Chenin Blanc. Fresh, lively melony notes intermixed with citrus and flowery scents jump from the glass of this light to medium-bodied, dry white. It is meant to be consumed over the next 12 months. In 2004, Kalleske was the biggest surprise of my tastings. Thanks to cutting edge importer, Dan Philips of the Grateful Palate, I was introduced to the high quality wines of Troy Kalleske, one of the Barossa’s top growers who owns 400 acres, primarily in the highly renowned Greenock region. This is clearly an up and coming superstar estate that merits considerable attention.Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283
