Mitolo Angela Shiraz 2019 (2 x 750ml)

Our growers, the Lopresti family, have provided fruit for Mitolo from the very beginning. Sourced from Sandra’s Block, matriarch of the Lopresti family, this wine is a tribute to my mother Angela, matriarch of the Mitolo family. Tasting notes: Deep dark and brooding garnet red. Pure aromatics highlighting the true identity of the site, Crushed dried mint leaf and fennel seeds, blackberry and satsuma plum, faint wafts of char and Asian five spice. Shows restraint from the cooler year, a soft approach precedes a wash of black fruit flavour, juicy tannins fill the mouth and the wine finishes strong and long, with lovely crushed herb flavours. Review: 92 points, Wine Advocate "The sixth vintage of this wine is now made from 35-year-old vines. The 2017 Small Batch Series Angela Shiraz comes from the southern portion of McLaren Vale. Aged in 30% new oak, some cedar and vanilla notes accent red fruit flavors in this medium to full-bodied wine. Some savory-earthy notes and gentle tannins appear on the finish. Give it a year to better integrate the oak, then drink it over the next decade."
