Named for the ancient Japanese art of “golden joinery” (broken fragments of ancient pottery pieced together with gold-laced lacquer), Ministry of Clouds Kintsugi meticulously blends only the very finest old vine fruit from a single year – in other words, simply the best Southern Rhone-inspired wine that can be made in a year! This elegant wine boasts stunning aromas of floral red fruit, cardamom and five spice from old vine Grenache, alongside intense blue fruit and violets from other Rhone varietals. Seductive layers of crunchy red berries on the palate with lingering sandy tannins and bright acidity through a long finish. Be sure to decant this beauty for as long as you can – though it's hard to resist diving right in! Try it alongside a creative fusion dish of chorizo claypot rice, or paprika-spiced grilled chicken.
