2024 Cloud Break Barrel Fermented Chardonnay

Cloud Break has its origins in California, the center of American wine culture. The grapes are carefully selected from both O'Neill Vintners and Distillers' own vineyards and from reliable grape growers with whom long-term agreements have been concluded. Under the skilled leadership of winemaker Mark Rasmussen, the Cloud Break wines are characterized by a perfect balance between structure, fruity aromas and the subtle use of oak.

More information about the wines

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 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.
