Clairault is one of Margaret River’s oldest brands and also has one of the best winemakers on board. The region is perched all the way over on Australia’s most south westerly tip and accounts for less than 5% of Australia’s wine production, but is responsible for 20% of the premium wines and the lion’s share of awards.
Tattersalls was fortunate to secure a case of the Clairault’s 2020 Streicker ‘Ironstone Block Old Vine’ Chardonnay. So for a limited time only, we will be pouring by the bottle of this award winning grape – skinned and carefully eviscerated. Last year, it scored 97 points and a Platinum medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards – placing this wine in the top 23 Chardonnays around the world.
The Streicker name came from businessman John Streicker, an American businessman who fell in love with Margaret River and the wines of Clairault. John purchased the winery and vineyards in 2001 and continued building and developing their sites until his passing in 2022. The brand still runs under his family who are based back in the US but everyday running is down to the core staff at the winery.
The list of awards given to this tiny area in Australia’s most isolated region is endless and it’s no wonder that Margaret River is dominating Australia’s premium sector. If you would like to enjoy this bottle, please contact the team at dine@tattersallsclub.org to reserve your bottle today.
