The 2025 Ministry of Clouds Picpoul is a bright and refreshing expression of this ancient Mediterranean white variety, celebrated for its vibrant acidity and naturally maritime character. Often referred to as “Lip Stinger” in France, Picpoul thrives in warm climates while retaining remarkable freshness, making it an ideal wine for summer drinking.

Delicately aromatic, the wine opens with lifted notes of white flowers, nashi pear, lemon verbena, and a hint of waxy citrus. The palate is crisp, crunchy, and intensely refreshing, driven by a fleshy line of verbena and citrus alongside layers of limestone minerality and saline brine. A subtle creaminess from lees contact adds texture and balance, enhancing the wine’s mouthwatering finish and coastal personality.

Briny and vibrant by nature, this Picpoul is a classic companion for fresh seafood, particularly South Australian oysters served natural or with a splash of the wine itself. Best enjoyed well chilled at around 10°C, it is a lively and effortlessly drinkable white that perfectly captures the energy and brightness of the Mediterranean-inspired style.
