TASTING NOTES
A golden color, shiny, clear.
On the nose, notes of ripe white and yellow fruits with light touches of citrus peel. Woody, toasted touches bring depth and character.
On the palate, the wine is round, silky, with a delicate volume that coats the mouth, a slight freshness that supports the wine and brings finesse. A tonic, saline and lemony finish.FOOD PAIRING
The salinity of the wine will match iodized products as long as it provides a rich aromatic range. For example, a magnificent sole cooked meunière or a scallop ravioli accompanied by a shellfish broth.

Service temperature: between 12°C et 14°C

Cape Clairault
The original Clairault Vineyards, with vines planted as early as 1976, have seen the implementation of biological sustainable farming practices. The robust health of the vineyard and quality of the fruit reflects these advanced methods.
With 40 hectares under vine, the vineyard sits 120 metres above sea level and is the starting point for 3 water catchments, the Gunyulgup, Quinninup and the Wilyabrup. The property, acknowledged as having one of the highest grades of biodiversity in the area, boasts a beautiful undulating landscape and plentiful natural bushland.
Varieties grown at Cape Clairault are: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Chardonnay.
Ironstone Vineyard
The Ironstone Vineyard, set on 101 hectares on Caves Road, is one of the oldest vineyards in the Margaret River Wine Region in the sub-region of Wilyabrup with 26 hectares under vine. Its tightly spaced vines planted almost 5,000 to the hectare promote a healthy competition and intensely flavoured fruit. The brown loamy sands over gravelly clay soils at Ironstone are exceptionally well suited for premium viticulture use. Streicker Wines acquired Ironstone Vineyard in 2003 and implemented a rehabilitation plan that included building a dam to increase water capacity, removing part of a water-hungry pine tree plantation, constructing kangaroo fencing, and pruning and reworking the vines. The results are exciting. Now the vines are robust and healthy, and because the roots grew deeper when the water table was low, they now pass through a variety of soil types that add great subtleties to the rich flavours of this premium block. Varieties grown at Ironstone are: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Chenin Blanc.
