Ministry of Clouds Riesling 2024
The Ministry of Clouds Riesling 2024 is a pure and transparent expression of its vineyard site, reflecting the crystalline elegance that defines the finest Clare Valley Riesling. Embracing delicacy and fragility over winemaker ego, this wine is crafted with a gentle hand to preserve its natural beauty.
Sourced from individual picks taken two weeks apart, each parcel was naturally settled after pressing, with pressings transferred to oak for wild fermentation. The core of the blend was cool-fermented in stainless steel and aged on fine lees for five months. With high natural acidity and low Baumé, it reveals finely detailed aromas of lavender, lime leaf, lemon pith, bath salts, and minerals, layered over classic Clare citrus. The palate offers a mouth-watering chalky and mineral texture, finishing with a taut and precise acid line.
Perfect with prawn har gow after a late night, it also has the structure to cellar for up to a decade, developing into a more complex and intriguing expression over time.
