Wine Description:
Mitolo Reiver Shiraz is a red wine produced by Mitolo Wines, a renowned winery in McLaren Vale, Australia.

Mitolo Reiver Shiraz is a perfect choice for those who appreciate bold and complex wines with an Australian directness.

Wine Expert Note:

This Mitolo Reiver Shiraz is a full-bodied, robust Australian Shiraz. On sight, the wine is an opaque purple hue. The nose is bold and jammy with blackberry fruit and chocolate notes a hint of smoke. The palate is full and round with finely balanced acidity for a wine of this stature and mouth-filling chewy tannins. Sweet baking spice and sticky licorice notes play out on the long finish. Cellar for up to 15 years to see its full potential and serve with navarin of lamb.
