Mitolo | 7th Son Grenache - Shiraz - NV

This is a full-bodied blend of Shiraz and Grenache, with a touch, unusually, of Sagrantino. Aromas of ripe plum, raspberry, chocolate, pepper, warm stone and black olive are followed by a juicy-fruited palate that's granular in texture and tightly wound with savory tannins.

Producer Information

Mitolo Wines is a producer based in the McLaren Vale wine region of South Australia. It specializes in red wines made from typical Australian varieties, but also features a selection of traditional Italian styles. Mitolo has two ranges in its portfolio. The Jester range is single-variety bottlings that are made to be drunk young and fresh. Grape varieties of the Jester range include Vermentino, Sangiovese, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. These wines are all bottled under screw cap and have been vinifed to be fruit-driven and fresh. The Cabernet Sauvignon has a portion of the grapes dried in the appassimento style prior to fermentation. The second range focuses on single vineyard expressions which include bottlings of Shiraz, Sagrantino, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Sagrantino grape has its origins in Umbria; where it is planted in soils similar to those found in the McLaren Vale. The Savitar Shiraz is one of the top wines from Mitolo, the grapes of which come from the southernmost end of the McLaren Vale. The vines here are approximately 30 years old and are grown on rocky soils. The wine is made from 100-percent Shiraz and is aged in 100-percent new barrels with a mixture of French and American oak, they can continue to age in bottle for around 10 years after vintage. The Mitolo family arrived in McLaren Vale in the 1950s, bringing viticultural ancestry from their homeplace of Abruzzo, Italy. Once established as a McLaren Vale stalwart of grape-growing, the first Mitolo wine was released in 2000, initiating the family as wine producers. Today, Mitolo wines have over 15 wines within the portfolio that are exported to over 15 countries.
