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
