Ministry Of Clouds Shiraz Hawkes Bay and treacleMinistry of Clouds is the creation of Bernice Ong and Julian Forwood and its just on a decade since they decided to leave the security of the corporate wine world (the ministry) for the adventure (the clouds) of their own wine venture. And its been quite a journey thus far. From the 2012 vintage their first five releases all rated between 94 and 97 points in the Halliday Wine Companion and earned them a spot in the Top Ten New Wineries for the year.
