standout barrels from a single vineyard in Willunga is the culmination of everything that
Mitolo is about. I had the privilege of being the first to taste it alongside Matthew Jukes
at a secret rendezvous with Frank and winemaker Ben Glaetzer in a bar in Adelaide. It instantly
joined the ranks of top tier of McLaren Vale shiraz. It’s effortlessly restrained fragrant and
fine-boned yet characterful and driving with a beautifully refined white pepper finish.

Zealand wines of the year 2017’14 seems an odd year in which to make a new super-cuvee flagship
but this by far the most intense of the Shirazs in the Mitolo toolbox but no more full-bodied
than Savitar. New oak plays a major role but so does the brighter more juicy fruit. James
Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2018A brand new release that instantly joins the top tier of
McLaren Vale Shiraz. It’s restrained fragrant and fine-boned yet characterful and driving
