Description
The Cloud Break Chardonnay has rich fruit aromas of grapefruit and ripe tropical fruit. In the background some notes of vanilla, caramel and a hint of oak. In the mouth a smooth and rich taste with passion fruit, fine fresh elements of citrus fruit without harsh acids. Very special and temptingly delicious. This is an exceptionally elegant and very rich white wine with an invigorating fresh and attractive character. The wine has a nice butterscotch, but it is nicely balanced and not too excessive.
Cloud Break comes from the cradle of American wine culture: California. The fruit comes from O'Neill Vintners and Distillers' own vineyards and from grape growers with whom long-term contracts have been concluded. Under the leadership of winemaker Mark Rasmussen, the emphasis of Cloud Break wines is on structure, fruit aromas and the use of oak without being overpowering. California has grown into a fully-fledged wine country, where 90% of American wine is produced. California's wine regions span the entire state, from San Diego in the south to Mendocino in the north. New vinification techniques are being applied on a large scale. However, this certainly does not detract from the quality of the wine. The level of Californian wine is very consistent and very high quality. Zinfandel is the proud grape for California's red wines. The grape is mainly used to produce a wide range of quality wines. Zinfandel is planted in both the warmer regions of California and in cooler regions. Did you know that the Italians call this grape Primitivo?

In the mouth a smooth and rich taste with passion fruit, fine fresh elements of citrus fruit without harsh acids. Very special and temptingly delicious.

Cloud Break Zinfandel is a powerful and beautifully concentrated fully ripe wine. The aromas that dominate are those of ripe blackberries, black cherries and plums. The taste develops a pleasant freshness and finesse with sweet-juicy notes of red and black fruit. This full-bodied red wine can be used with various dishes.
One of the striking features of Cloud Break wines is the emphasis on balance. The brand's winemaker, Mark Rasmussen, focuses on achieving harmony between the wine's structure, its fruity aromas and the subtle use of oak. This creates wines that are rich and complex, but not dominated by the wood.
