Ministry of Clouds Riesling 2022

Of all the many grape varieties, Riesling is the most transparent expression of a vineyard site. Ministry of Clouds have long loved the more crystalline expressions of Clare Valley Riesling, embracing the exquisite risk inherent in delicacy and fragility. Never a wine about winemaker ego, or manhandling in the winery, just purity…

From the coolest growing season since 2002, flavour developed slowly over time making for a welcome change from recent vintages, with a distinctly delicate but intense character. Low Baumes, coupled with healthy natural acids led to lifted floral notes, kaffir lime, freshly squeezed lemon juice, grapefruit pith, bath salts, and underlying talc. Classic citrus notes are complimented by the mouth-watering chalky and mineral texture on the palate, finishing with a fine and taut acid line.
