Introducing our New Head Chef Michael Talbott and Locally Sourced, Seasonal Produce Philosophy
The new direction for the Vineyard Kitchen will hero seasonal ingredients, sourced from local growers and farmers, to complement the estate grown wines by Clairault Streicker.
Working with considered produce and cooking with restraint, Michael’s dishes are textural, balanced in flavour and beautifully presented.
Michael’s vision of minimising waste and working with growers and producers that share the philosophy of respecting and caring for the land will form an important part of Clairault Streicker’s sustainability journey.
Michael is excited to work within the small Clairault Streicker team on a concise and changing menu.
“The menu will be changed regularly to make the most of seasonal produce from the region, and greater Western Australia,” he said.
Born and raised in the UK, Michael began his career at the age of 18 at a boutique hotel and restaurant on the river Thames, before moving to Australia in 2008. Drawn to the country lifestyle, he moved to the south west with his young family.
The new menu by Head Chef Michael Talbott is now available.

Trophy at the International Wine & Spirits Competition
To top off what has been an incredible year in the awards space for us, our Clairault Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 has just been awarded the highest accolade at The International Wine & Spirits Competition.
It was one of 8 still red wines, of a total 7,000 tasted, to bring home a wine trophy!
Tasting notes from the judges said,
"Restrained aromas of fresh blackberries, with hints of opulent black truffle. The palate is slick and supple, with polished, silky tannins and layers of graphite, ocean spray and forest floor. This is magnificent: assured and age-worthy, with a clear pedigree."
Many hands have worked these cabernet vines over their 46+ years on this special plot of land in Wilyabrup. We are grateful for every single person who has contributed in some way. We now focus our attention to protecting these vines for future generations to come.
We can't wait to share this wine with you. Join our mailing list to be the first to be notified of it's release: /Connect
We are also proud to share we have been shortlisted for the 2023 Old Vine Trophy.
The Old Vine Trophy recognises producers working to preserve and protect their heritage vineyards.
The story of the A Block is well told here at Clairault Streicker in terms of the legacies put in place by the Lewis Family. Since then, the respect and care taken by Senior Viticulturist Chris Gillmore and his team and the wines made from here by Bruce Dukes and team have all contributed to this heritage being withheld. We see ourselves as custodians of this story and look to improve on the detail with reference to the place it is grown in and the hopes for the future preservation and integration with country.
The Old Vine Trophy winner will be announced at the IWSC Awards Celebration on 19 October, and the winner will be invited to take part in The Old Vine Conference 2023, where they will be interviewed about their work with old vines and what it means to them to have won the Old Vine Trophy.

Fences for Biodiversity Protection & Revegetation
We bet you've noticed the big dam to the south of our long driveway, as you enter the Clairault Vineyard, Cellar Door & Vineyard Kitchen from Caves Road.
We recently fenced that dam to protect the water source and ultimately part of the 85ha area of remnant Jarrah, Marri, Banksia and Peppermint forest. The dam is at the head of three separate catchments at Wilyabrup, and with plans to plant and revegetate the area, this will assist in protecting the biodiversity and environmental integrity of the catchment.
We're continually inspired by the hard work and progress Senior Vineyard Manager & Viticulturist Chris Gillmore and his team are making towards a more sustainable future for our four sites and the region.
"Our team have a responsibility to preserve and boost the biodiversity and environmental integrity of the area," said Chris Gillmore.
"We're working to protect bushland and water sources, boost water quality in the catchment, and plant out wildlife corridor to link bushland."
We couldn't have done it without Nature Conservation Margaret River Region and the grant program. We appreciate the work they do for us and our region. For more information, visit their website here.
