Description:
Dark chocolate, anise and all spice dominate the nose of the Jester Shiraz, which are supported by hints of French oak, cherries and coffee. A fresh and juicy mid-palate enhances tannin and length. The wine has flavours of fresh plums and liquorice with hints of blackberry and espresso. A long and lingering finish. The grapes come from the Willunga district of McLaren Vale, where there are heavy grey loam soils over sandstone, intermixed with black Biscay clay. These soils combined with the maritime climate, contribute to an even ripening period and the development of rich fruit flavours and ripe tannins. A dry winter, followed by heavy rains in spring resulted in vines with healthy, balanced canopies on moist soils. Mitolo Wines is a family owned winery, established in 1999 by Frank and Simone Mitolo, with winemaker Ben Glaetzer. Their vision is to create individual, handcrafted premium wines built on passion and an uncompromising commitment to quality.
