Mitolo SAVITAR Shiraz McLaren Vale South Australia
Description: The wine name 'Savitar' refers to a mythical dragon-like monster while the wine comes from the Chinese Block vineyard which is located in the Willunga district at the southern end of McLaren Vale. Parcels of Shiraz averaging 20 years of age are grown on rocky, skeletal soils in the northeast part of the vineyard. The result is a dark red with a vibrant purple hue while the aromatics are bright, elevated combinations of cassis, tobacco and spice-box yet with freshness and vitality. The palate is full bodied, meaty and complex – well integrated oak and tannin provide elements of structure to the wine and it finishes with impressive length. (3 x 1.5 Litres)

Skillogalee Shiraz Clare Valley South Australia
Description: Shiraz is probably the second wine style after Riesling for which the Clare Valley is well known. The fruit for this Skillogalee Shiraz was hand-picked from low yielding, unirrigated vines growing on the slopes around the homestead, around 450m above sea level. This Shiraz is another dark, rich wine in the Skillogalee tradition, with intense colour and powerful, warm aromas and flavours. On the nose and the palate there are berryfruit and plum characters and hints of pepper, eucalyptus and mint can sometimes be found. Tannin structure is fine but firm and there is a good level of natural acidity. The fruit was destalked and partially crushed, fermented, and then gently basket-pressed. Malo-lactic fermentation took place partially in tank with completion in barrel. Maturation for 24 months in a combination of French and American oak hogsheads has added considerable balance and complexity. Skillogalee is a 60 hectare property located within South Australia's Clare Valley wine region. Within this region, it occupies the western extreme of the Sevenhill sub-region and is bounded on the western side by the Spring Gully Conservation Park, home of the rare Red Stringy Bark gum tree. It is around 8km south of Clare township and about 135km due north of Adelaide. In the early 1840's, the pioneer and explorer John Horrocks settled at Penworththam, named after his home town in England. From here, he explored further north in the Flinders ranges, using Afghan camels and looking for land suitable for settlement. On one such expedition, Horrocks' party was beset by illness, injuries and bad weather. Having run short of provisions, they survived only by making a 'skillogalee' or 'skilly' (6 x 75 cl)
