WINE DESCRIPTION

Mitolo Reiver Shiraz is a red wine produced by Mitolo Wines, a renowned winery in McLaren Vale, Australia. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the vineyards located in the Barossa Valley to serve as a point to contrast to the McLaren Vale wines in Mitolo's portfolio. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes from the hillsides and valley floor for a balance of ripeness and freshness, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Shiraz with intense flavors of dark fruit, spice, and chocolate, balanced by a chewy, velvety texture. Mitolo Reiver Shiraz is a perfect choice for those who appreciate bold and complex wines with an Australian directness.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

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.
