A celebration of the dogged stubbornness of pioneering McLaren Vale families, who persisted with their plots of grenache, when others implored them to turn their land to other pursuits. From very old bush vines each vineyard eighty years plus, the team at Ministry of Clouds make a contemporary grenache with fragrance, succulence and fine boned structure. Viva la Grenache!
Showing old vine intensity without heaviness, fragrant cranberry and wild cherry fruit lift, violets, earth, and garrigue herbs: the palate is pure with calming depth and intensity, but kept necessarily fresh by grainy tannins and a bright line of natural acid.
