2019 Cloudburst Chardonnay, Margaret River

Pale gold colour. Intense lime. Grapefruit, apricot aromas with grilled hazelnut, vanilla notes. Gorgeously seductive wine with ripe apricot, nectarine, grapefruit flavours, marzipan light pastry, honey nuances, fine slinky/ chewy textures, superb mid palate viscosity and fresh linear acidity. Finishes minerally and long. Quite forward and mouthfilling. Delicious to drink now and will probably keep for awhile (Screw cap will preserve it). Idiosyncratic and unusual but great.

2018 Cloudburst Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River

Medium deep crimson. Beautiful intense violet pure cassis aromas with espresso herb garden notes. Classical cabernet wine with lovely pure blackcurrant, blackberry, dark plum flavours, flowing fine grained textures and underlying roasted chestnut vanilla oak. Finishes velvety firm, and minerally with superb inky length. All the elements are perfectly integrated. The perfumed notes, inky textures, buoyancy of fruit and gentle vigour make it surprisingly delicious to drink now, but some extra bottle age will bring more complexity. Fascinating and fabulous. Drink now to 2032+
