Its Lilliputian scale, audacious idealism, imaginative design and ecological zeal place this quirky yet magnificent obsession into a league of its own. Cloudburst represents the zeitgeist of our times , where prestige is underpinned by scarcity, uniqueness and beauty. There are few single - wine estates in the world that are so full of paradoxes and mystery. Even Cloudburst’s storybook debut is an improbable tale. Although luck has played its part, track record and vineyard character are tangible successes. Cloudburst’s availability through La Place de Bordeaux highlights its rarity and appeal within the international community of wine collectors.
