Far from gloom and doom, the clouds evoked by this pitch-perfect McLaren Vale Shiraz are light, fluffy and cheerful. Hear Aussie Shiraz and maybe you're thinking of big, meaty barbecue numbers - and while this has the meat and the smoke and the peppery spice, it is just somehow more lifted, more elegant, more nimble and has gorgeous blue fruit and violet perfume. Finding the lighter, more balanced and subtle beauty in amazing Australian fruit is the trademark of this fantastic producer's wines. The cool, late-ripening 2023 vintage plays perfectly into this stylistic philosophy.

Bernice Ong and Julian Forwood were wine industry and hospitality veterans, who decided to try their hands at production in 2013. In 2016, they purchased an 11-hectare vineyard in the Seaview subregion of McLaren Vale, planted primarily to Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, and this has become the heartland for Ministry of Clouds, though they also source fruit from prime vineyards in other regions of South Australia.

In their words, Ministry of Clouds crafts “modern Australian wines made simply and traditionally, with complexity derived from many small ferments, either in traditional open vats or concrete eggs, with indigenous yeasts, multiple picking passes to retain acid, and a mosaic of distinguished vineyards to provide layers of flavour and tannin. The goal is transparency, balance and elegance, recognition of site and season, sustainable farming, contemporary yet classic wines from the ancient vines and geology of McLaren Vale.”
