Ministry of Clouds, Shiraz 2021

Place: McLaren Vale, Australia

Grape: Shiraz

Style: Rich yet fresh

'21 was cooler in these parts, cooler than average anyway. This, combined with some earlier picked fruit, brought out way more of the beautiful blue-fruited character of Vale Shiraz. Plenty of depth here, which is what you look for, but also an effortlessness to the drinking, which is a most welcome addition. ABV: 14.5%
