Cloudburst Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
On request only
Cloudburst Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is a Margaret River red with a very individual feel. It comes from the Cloudburst estate of owner and winemaker Will Berliner, set on the inland slope of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge, close to the Indian Ocean and bordered by bushland.
The blend is led almost entirely by Cabernet Sauvignon, with a small proportion of Malbec. The vineyard is densely planted, own-rooted, unirrigated and farmed according to ecological and biodynamic principles, though without certification. In the cellar, the work remains small-scale and hands-on: manual sorting, small open fermenters, wild yeast fermentation, partial whole-bunch fermentation and hand pigeage.
Around 20 to 22 months of oak maturation give the wine room to build depth without (…)Cloudburst Chardonnay 2019

Cloudburst Chardonnay 2019
On request only
Cloudburst Chardonnay 2019 is a dry white wine from Margaret River, made within the small Cloudburst production of owner and winemaker Will Berliner. It comes from the Cloudburst vineyard, a very small planting set within a larger natural area near Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park and the Indian Ocean. That sense of place matters here: ocean influence, careful hand work and tiny scale are all part of the wine's identity.
The 2019 vintage was shaped by a cooler growing season, low yields and a harvest around two weeks later than usual. Only 2,288 bottles were produced. At Drankenshop Broekmans, the remaining bottles stand out as a scarce Margaret River Chardonnay with both concentration and freshness in its make-up.
The chardonnay grapes were hand sorted, (…)Cloudburst Malbec 2018

Cloudburst Malbec 2018
On request only
Cloudburst Malbec 2018 is a Margaret River red wine with a story built around very small scale and careful vineyard work. It comes from a tiny malbec parcel within the Cloudburst vineyard: 0.10 hectares planted with 1,000 vines. Only 1,200 bottles were produced in 2018, so each bottle represents a very limited piece of that site.
Cloudburst was founded by Will Berliner and Alison Jobson near Wilyabrup. The vineyard is managed by hand, according to biodynamic principles, without irrigation and close to the influence of the Indian Ocean. The vines are on their own roots, and pruning, tying and harvesting are all done manually. That detail matters here, because this is not a large-production wine shaped to a formula; it is a small parcel treated with unusual attention.
