Mitolo Wines Seventh Son Grenache Shiraz 2019 (6 Bottles) McLaren Vale

$220.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

This wine has a lifted and attractive floral bouquet, fresh and fragrant red fruit accents of red cherry and raspberry finished with a deliciously savoury and satisfying finish.

Succulent raspberry and red cherry flavours open proceedings on this juicy medium bodied beauty, lending it an easy approachability before bass notes of olive tapenade and salty liquorice kick in. Ripe tannins are fine grained and savoury with the Sagrantino adding an earthy moreishness to the finish that is drawn out by finely balanced acidity.

The Grenache is sourced from the northern part of McLaren Vale known as Blewitt Springs where the soil is deep sand. This vineyard of old gnarly bush vines is dry grown and farmed with minimal input. It is a cooler site than where the Shiraz and Sagrantino parcels are sourced: the Lopresti vineyard located at the southern end of McLaren Vale, about 4km east of the coastal town of Port Willunga.

The soil here is heavy grey loam mixed with black Biscay clay and sits above ancient Gnaltinga formation bedrock. Strong vine growth in spring is tempered by summers dry winds, developing pure, bright and savoury fruit flavours that are tempered by cooling afternoon sea breezes.

“Mitolo are all about family and friends. A table served with food, and wine made with passion and love; this is the ‘essence’ of Mitolo.” – Frank Mitolo.

The Mitolo heritage runs strongly through the range using Italian varietals and techniques, and at the heart of if all, in the wine style and in the people is the motto that the Mitolo’s brought from Abruzzo… ‘forte a gentile’ meaning strong and gentle.
