Note di degustazione
Golden flecked, vivid and alive in the glass in the glass. Ozone, with a seashore, saline quality on the nose. Very clean and clear on the palate, then toasted butter, brioche, baked apple and spice. Powerful, rich and utterly delicious.

Great concentration, this takes a leap up in quality, showcasing the texture and the sapidity of a great Cloudburst vintage. Elderflower blossoms, citrus, white peaches, crayon, liqourice, chamomile, toasted pine nuts, juicy and mouthwatering, with grip and extension on the finish. Best so far. Will Berliner owner and winemaker. Native yeasts, spontaneous fermentation, around one third new oak for ageing.
Slightly closed at this youthful stage, the 2013 Cloudburst Chardonnay opens with lemon juice, chalk dust and lime peel aromas with faint butterscotch, powdered ginger and Marmite hints. The medium-bodied palate delivers wonderful tension and mouth-filling citrus and stony flavors with a silken texture and a long finish that builds in savory complexity.
2,888 bottles made. Quite rich with the merest hint of Coche reduction. Really round fruit yet lively and vibrant. This has lasted well but is fruit-dominated rather than subtle and savoury. Well made.
