Detailed Description
The medium-bodied 2015 Malbec is a fresh, raspberry-laden offering, with hints of fresh flowers, sage and bay leaf bringing nuance, the oak pushed into the background to provide bass notes of cedar and earth. Silky, vibrant and perfumed, this is less powerful than the 2014 but ultimately more appealing and complete.
Reviews:
- Wine Advocate: The medium-bodied 2015 Malbec is a fresh, raspberry-laden offering, with hints of fresh flowers, sage and bay leaf bringing nuance, the oak pushed into the background to provide bass notes of cedar and earth. Silky, vibrant and perfumed, this is less powerful than the 2014 but ultimately more appealing and complete.
- Wine Spectator: A very rare beast. This has a cedary French oak that overlay with a wealth of ripe red-plum, red cherry and mulberry aromas. The palate is youthful and packed with deliciously flavorsome mulberries, plums, darker spiced chocolate, cloves and very athletic tannins that propel the finish long. It demonstrates the unquestionable suitability of this variety in the region.
Producer Information
Cloudburst Wine is a Western Australian wine producer, located in the Margaret River wine region on the southwest coast. It produces a portfolio of Chardonnay, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon wines sourced from estate vineyards.The estate vines are planted close together to provide low yields of grapes with concentrated flavor compounds. Vines are dry-farmed and never require irrigation thanks to root systems that penetrate deep into the soil profile. At harvest, a hand-pick protects the integrity of the grapes.The Cloudburst wine portfolio is composed of three expressions of varietal Chardonnay, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvingon. In the winery, minimal intervention winemaking is practised with wild yeasts from the vineyard and winery employed for fermentation.
