Cloudburst Chardonnay Margaret River 2018

Cloudburst winery is located on rich bushland connecting to the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, which extends down to the edge of the Indian Ocean. They work within the sound of the sea whose influence on the grapes is tangible. Cooling maritime breezes mitigate warm daytime temperatures, allowing our grapes to ripen slowly and to gather flavor. Animals of all kinds live in or visit the vines. The practices consciously integrate the wild into what we cultivate. Everything is interrelated with the cycles of nature. The biodynamic approach considers the whole farm as an integrated, living system, with its foundation in the soil. A healthy soil retains moisture, is nutrient rich and alive with beneficial organisms supporting the vitality of the plants. The winery uses homeopathic preparations, fish and seaweed emulsions, biodynamic composts, rock dusts, mulches and cover crops. Each vine is the purest expression of its particular variety. Because grapes are grown on their own roots, developed from cuttings of the finest specimens available in region, they have varietal purity and natural vigor. The vines are dry-farmed and never irrigated. They have found their own water and have thrown down deep roots. Self-sufficient and deeply connected to the seasonal water cycles and natural processes inherent to our area, the vines are integrated expressions of this bio-diverse place.All products by this producer
