The essence of Mitolo Wines can be traced back centuries through generations of agriculturists and viticulturalists. Hailing from Italy's Abruzzo region, the Mitolo family migrated to Australia in the 1950s with a hardworking ethos and a strong connection to the land. Embodying the motto of Abruzzo – forte e gentile or strong and gentle – Mitolo's proud Italian-Australian heritage is engrained in its endeavour to craft remarkable wines of character and elegance.

From century-old bush vines (1928) grown on Maslin sand in Blewitt Springs, this Harena cuvée embodies the quintessence of high-altitude Grenache. At 190 meters above sea level, sandy soils over ironstone naturally limit yields and concentrate aromas. Vinified with 20% whole bunches and aged 12 months in French oak, this 2024 unveils a complex aromatic palette of raspberry, white mulberry, crushed cherry and herbaceous notes. The palate reveals layers of silky, fine tannins around a mineral core of quartz and graphite, carried by succulent acidity.
