About this product
Ministry of Clouds Mataro 2021 is a darkly compelling McLaren Vale red from Ministry of Clouds, brooding at first but brightened by the freshness and fragrance that make this far more than a heavyweight winter red. It is deeply savoury, intensely spiced and built with proper cellaring structure.
Dark plum and blackberry sit beneath a tangle of garrigue herbs, clove, nutmeg, cardamom and fennel. Earthy, iron-like mineral notes and a flicker of wild game add serious complexity, while Ministry of Clouds McLaren Vale Mataro 2021 holds its compact fruit core with bright acidity and firm, sinewy tannin.
Pour the Ministry of Clouds Mataro 2021 with slow-roasted lamb shoulder, venison, braised beef cheeks or smoky barbecue ribs. Its depth and savoury spice also make it a terrific match for mushroom ragù, chargrilled eggplant and aged hard cheeses. Decant before serving to let this powerful, characterful Mataro unfold.
