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.
Savitar is Whites Valley at its most precise. Two exceptional parcels — black Biscay clay, limestone deposits, less than 4km from the coast — yield a Shiraz of remarkable definition. 26-year-old vines, the celebrated 2021 McLaren Vale vintage, 20 months in oak.
On the nose, intense dark fruits — dark cherry, Damson plum, ripe mulberry — with mineral undertones, graphite and cedar. The palate is long, firm and elegant, with fine-grained tannins and an enduring finish.
At the table: herb-roasted lamb, duck breast, aged hard cheeses.
REGION
McLaren Vale
Australia
The McLaren Vale wine region, just south of Adelaide, is highly regarded in Australia and around the world. Shiraz tops the list of the region's award winning wines, making McLaren Vale a favourite place to grow this grape. Cabernet Sauvignon is another key variety, along with Grenache and Mourvèdre, which together with Shiraz make some of the most acclaimed GSM blends in the region. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc lead the white grapes of McLaren Vale, with a wealth of other regional and international specialities such as Merlot, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Viognier also making their mark.
Recommended for you:
Deep dark fruits, graphite, a long and precise palate, McLaren Vale at its finest. A wine that speaks quietly but stays with you.
