2018 Ministry of Clouds Shiraz

Twelve percent whole bunch fruit was included in the ferment and maturation took place in a mix of old French oak puncheons and a foudre. Totally opaque black dark purple colour with a deep bright dark red black tinged hue. Filling the olfactory senses are aromatics of liquorice, dark plum and a whiff of ripe blueberry followed by fennel, lightly smoked cedar and spicy vanilla notes. Rich and plump, a succulent combination of blue and dark fruits flood the mouth underpinned by vanillin cedar, fennel and subtle spicy pepper. Velvety tannins finishing with a lick of fresh acidity. Long sumptuous dark plum, liquorice, blueberry, vanillin cedar, fennel and spicy pepper aftertaste.
Cellar 5-6 years.
