DESCRIPTION
The essence of Mitolo Wines is rooted in centuries of agricultural and winemaking tradition. Originally from the Abruzzo region of Italy, the Mitolo family emigrated to Australia in the 1950s, bringing with them an unwavering work ethic and a deep connection to the land. Embodying the Abruzzo motto — forte e gentile (strong and gentle) — their Italian-Australian heritage sits at the heart of their quest to create remarkable wines, full of character and elegance.
Jester is the invitation to the table, no ceremony, all pleasure. Sourced from Ridgehaven Vineyard in Sellicks Hill (clay-loam, shattered gravel, north-westerly aspect), this Shiraz from 26-year-old vines is crafted to preserve fruit vibrancy: cool fermentation, 16 months in oak (80% French, 20% American). The result is honest and generous: blood plum, dark cherry, blackberry, hints of cocoa and sweet spice. Smooth tannins, an enveloping palate, a soft and lingering finish.
Perfect with grilled meats, a generous pizza, a gourmet burger or simply shared around a table with friends.

Shiraz leads the region's list of award-winning wines, making McLaren Vale a favorite location to grow this grape. Cabernet Sauvignon is another prominent grape variety, along with Grenache and Mourvedre which, together with Shiraz, make up some of the most acclaimed GSM blends here. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate McLaren Vale's white grape varieties, with a plethora of other regional and international specialties such as Merlot, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Viognier also making their mark.
