Mitolo Jester McLaren Vale Shiraz
Dense purple colour and an almost black appearance. Dark chocolate, anise and allspice dominate the nose, supported by hints of French oak, cherries and coffee. A fresh and juicy mid-palate shrouds tannin and length. The wine has flavours of fresh cut plums and licorice with hints of blackberry and espresso. A long and lingering finish.
Mitolo’s vision is to create individual, handcrafted premium wines built on passion and an uncompromising commitment to quality. McLaren Vale based Mitolo is a family owned winery established in 1999 by Frank Mitolo whose Italian family roots inspired his early interest and enthusiasm for good food and great wine. Winemaker Ben Glaetzer became a partner in the business in 2001. The fusion of Frank’s knowledge of the land and business acumen and Ben’s winemaking talent has resulted in one of Australia’s most awarded wineries.
Mitolo wines has made a name for itself as one of the producers to watch from the McLaren Vale. Overlooking the coast, the vineyard in McLaren Vale has heavy grey loam over sandstone soil with black cracking Biscay clay. Cool afternoon breezes and nights from the proximity to the ocean help produce good acid levels and complex flavours.
Mitolo Wines willingly accepts its corporate and social responsibility to undertake and promote sustainability in every facet of its business. We are dedicated to identifying and implementing environmental best practice from the vineyard and in the winery through to packaging, distribution and in our everyday roles.
