About this wine
Ministry of Clouds Picpoul is a vibrant McLaren Vale white, celebrated for its crisp acidity and briny character. This estate-grown Picpoul—traditionally known as the "lip-stinger"—delivers lifted aromas of white flowers, nashi pear, lime blossom, and a hint of wax. The palate is fresh and sherbet-like, layered with zesty verbena, sea spray minerality, and a subtle creaminess from wild yeast fermentation and time on lees. Bright and mouthwatering, it finishes clean with a saline edge. Perfect with freshly shucked oysters or light seafood dishes.
