Frank Mitolo is one of the most important people in the food and wine industry in McLaren Vale. The Mitolo group is comprised of five different divisions, mainly in the food industry. Ollo is the olive oil arm which has just secured a massive export order to China
Mitolo Jester Shiraz 2010
Pure McLaren Vale in a plush and comforting style, yet it still retains a degree of elegance that only Ben Riggs could put together. You get the usual suspects of licorice and bitter chocolate with ripe blackberries and creaming soda coming through. The palate and aroma’s mirror each other brilliantly but it is the lovely creamy mouthfeel that is most attractive. When I was tasting this wine, I thought the price would be around the 40 buck mark which was great when I found out it was 28 RRP. I would pick up a case of this and crank it out over the next 12 months as this wine offers joy to drink now, even if it could keep for longer.
