Cloudburst is a small project by New Yorker Will Berliner who started making wine in his 'back yard' in Australia's Margaret River. Because the vineyards only cover 1.25 hectares, Berliner can manage his vineyards with great dedication. The wines are super-terroir wines and have achieved cult status in knowledgeable circles. Considering the very small vineyard, only a small number of bottles (a few hundred) are made from the Cloudburst wines, so they are an absolute collector's item. The wine is distributed via Place de Bordeaux!

The Cloudburst is a wine with a unique terroir character. A formidable wine. Powerfully aromatic, as if an internal combustion engine pumps the aromas out of the glass, exuding the freshness, clarity and purity of the wine with a compelling perfume of rose petal-tinted blueberries and the blackest imaginable, immaculately ripened fruit, infused with exotic wood spice. Presenting at the perfect point of ripeness, the fruit bursts on the palate with pure black cherries, black currants and blackberries. The wine is soft, with a creamy texture all carried by a perfect amount of powdery tannins. There is an extra powerful dimension of umami that gives the wine a lithe, sexy elegance and old-world precision. And its beautiful length and purity resonates remarkably long. - 97 Anson / 94 The Wine Independent

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze krachtige maar verfijnde Cabernet presenteert zich met intense aroma's van zwarte kersen, braambessen en rozenblaadjes, getint met exotisch houtkruid, een romige textuur, poederige tannines en een verleidelijk umami-onder­toon dat de lange, zuivere afdronk draagt. Dankzij die stevige structuur en frisse zuurgraad snijdt de wijn mooi door vet en rijke smaken heen, waardoor hij fantastisch samengaat met rundvlees en lamsgerechten die profiteren van krachtige tannines, met gezouten en gerijpte charcuterie wegens de complementaire umami, en met harde, gerijpte kazen die de fruitigheid en de complexiteit benadrukken. Bereidingen zoals gegrilde of in de pan aangebraden ribeye of entrecote op rood/medium-rood, herb-crusted lamsrack of langzaam gestoofde short ribs, en een plank met salami, prosciutto en oude cheddar of Manchego tillen de match bijzonder naar een hoger niveau.

Cloudburst is a small project by New Yorker Will Berliner who started making wine in his 'backyard' in Margaret River, Australia. Because the vineyards only cover 1.25 hectares, Berliner can manage his vineyards with great dedication. The very small vineyards are all organic and mainly worked by hand. If he can find reliable help, one of his main tasks is to weed out among his densely planted, almost bonsai-like vines.

He planted the first vines in 2005, but the process still continues as he continually fills holes in the vineyard. No supplemental water is used, so some vines invariably don't take root well and need to be replaced the following year - and sometimes the year after. The wines are super-terroir wines and have achieved cult status in knowledgeable circles. The price reflects the scarcity and intensive labor that Berliner devotes to the vineyard.
