Ministry of Clouds, Shiraz, 6 Bottle Case 75cl

 “McLaren Vale is our heartland,” and it is where Bernice Ong and Julian Forwood found their 11-hectare vineyard called The Chase atop the Onkaparinga Gorge. Between them they have thirty-five years of experience in wine & hospitality and they have a knack for tracking down the best grapes they can lay their hands on. They only created Ministry of Clouds in 2013 and in such a short space of time their poised, elegant wines have won a legion of fans.

Layers of cool blue and red fruit lift with layers of allspice and cardamom to entice, supported by a gentle creaminess, which progresses to the palate exhibiting a deep fruit weight kept bright, nervy, and fleshy and filed down nicely by fine and savoury tannin line.
