Our growers, the Lopresti family, have provided fruit for Mitolo from the very beginning. Sourced from Sandra’s Block, matriarch of the Lopresti family, this wine is a tribute to my mother Angela, matriarch of the Mitolo family.
Tasting notes:
Deep ruby. Ripe and complex bouquet of black plum, violet, cedar, cocoa and dried herbs. Awash with ripe plum fruit, it is framed by savoury notes of cedar, earth and
ground coffee. Powerful and concentrated, the flavours integrate seamlessly with the fine-grained tannins and bright acidity.

95 points, SAM KIM, WINE ORBIT. DECEMBER 2021
Wonderfully fruited and immensely appealing, the wine shows black/blueberry, floral, clove and toasted nut aromas, leading to a concentrated palate displaying excellent depth and richness, while remaining graceful and structured. At its best: now to 2035.
93 points, NED GOODWIN, WINE COMPANION, AUGUST 2022
Archetypal regional shiraz, with far more detail, aplomb and freshness than in the past. American oak, clear. Maple, vanilla and mocha. And yet the fruit is transparent and vibrant, corralled and shaped, rather than subsumed by it. Violet, iodine, blue and boysenberry and a lovely trail of clove, white pepper and anise.
