2011 Cloudburst Margaret River Chardonnay

Producer: Cloudburst 
Region: Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia  
Varietal: Chardonnay    
Year: 2011 

Winemaker Notes: 

"It carries a complex range of aromas carrying traces of both citrus and stone fruit, melon and ripe pear over wet slate.  The taste is elegant and intriguingly complex, with beautiful piquant acid balancing a suggestion of lemon curd and honeyed almond.  The finish has finesse and crispness and balance.

The 2011 Vintage began after a fairly dry winter followed upon by a dry spring.  Some relief arrived in January with some light rains.  This was followed in February and March by extremely hot summer days, with quite unusually warm summer nights, speeding up the growing season.  The resulting 2011 Cloudburst Chardonnay has a powerful intensity of flavor and a refreshingly stony line to the palate.  The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon has a richer flavor, coupled with super ripe tannins."
