Mitolo 'Jester' Shiraz 2020

Vineyard Notes
The vineyards are in the Willunga district in the southern end of McLaren Vale. The heavy grey loam soil over sandstone, intermixed with black Biscay clay, combined with a maritime climate, contribute to an even ripening period and the development of rich fruit flavours and ripe tannins.

 

Style
Intense, textured and showing pure fruit flavours, Jester Shiraz is our baby G.A.M using the same barrels in which G.A.M was previously aged. Jester Shiraz is made to be upfront and approachable for early appreciation, and delivers excellent quality for the price.

 

Winemaker Notes
The fruit was fermented on skins at cool temperatures in order to capture and enhance the bright, pure berry fruit. The wine was then pressed and underwent partial barrel fermentation with natural malolactic fermentation occurring prior to the wine being racked.

Colour
Deep garnet red with purple hues

Nose
Blackberry, liquorice and dark plums

Palate
Spicy, dark and brooding blackberry fruits with powerful anise and sarsaparilla flavours. Also hints of cocoa and mocha.
