Mitolo Jester Shiraz 2019 (3 x 750ml)

A lot of love goes into our wines, and our Jester Shiraz is no exception. The vineyards for the Jester Shiraz are located at the southern end of McLaren Vale, close to the seaside town of Aldinga. The combination of cool sea breezes and gully winds provide ideal conditions for growing fruit of intensity and balance. The vines sit in heavy clay, which gives the wine powerful dark fruit flavours. Ideal conditions in 2017 produced an exceptional Shiraz that speaks of its origin. Full flavoured, with dark fruits and savoury black olive characters, and soft, silky tannins. Tasting notes: Clean, high toned aromas of ripe dark fruits such as blood plums and blackberries fill the glass. There’s an undercurrent of more savoury bass notes of black olive and oak char. It is fragrant, expressive and straightforward. Ripe, dark fruit flavours roll effortlessly across the palate. More blackberry and blood plum with coffee and mocha notes in support. Supple with a deliciously earthy twang to its ripe and finely textured tannins. Fresh acidity, adding mouth-watering brightness to the generous fruit flavours. A medium to full bodied red with a delicious core of dark fruits wrapped in a satisfyingly earthy package. Review: 90 points, James Suckling A very tart and tangy, red-fruited style with a crunchy, fresh palate that has an elegant, slightly tangy, citrusy finish.
