Description
In a nutshell:
Right, this McLaren Vale Shiraz is a properly cheerful chap; full of life and dark berry charm, but with a savoury side and a backbone that means business.
The lowdown:
This inky Shiraz from South Australia's McLaren Vale is all juicy plum and bramble with a surprising lift of fresh herbs. There's a hint of smokiness too, like a whisper of bonfire from across the garden fence. A quick dip its toes in cool fermentation keeps things lively, while a year in oak adds a gentle touch of spice and savouriness, a whisper of olive tapenade. Silky tannins and a dry, herbal finish make it a cracking example of Aussie Shiraz, bursting with flavour without being a heavyweight. Undeniably good value, this is a wine that begs to be shared with friends over a long, lingering dinner.
The Producer:
Mitolo, a McLaren Vale gem, is a family affair with a touch of la dolce vita. Established in 1999 by Frank Mitolo, his Italian heritage informs their love of good food and fine wine. Partnering with winemaker Ben Glaetzer in 2001, they've become a winning team. From the delightfully quaffable Jester range to their critic-pleasing premium wines, Mitolo offers something for every wine lover. Their coastal McLaren Vale vineyards benefit from cooling sea breezes, perfect for crafting wines with vibrant acidity and complex flavours.
When to drink:
This full-bodied red's a knockout for hearty stews and barbecued meats - perfect for a slap-up dinner.
Suitable for Vegans
