Mitolo are to be commended for reaching for the Italian rooted Sangiovese for their rosé rather than McLaren Vale’s signature Grenache.
Mitolo, Jester, Rosé, Sangiovese, McLaren Vale, 2018
Pale salmon/dusky rose hue. Creamy citrus mandarin, cherry skin, strawberries & cream, smoky herbal hints with light musk stick and peach tea kiss. Completely dry, sweet-tooths need not apply. Chalky texture made fresh with juicy cherry and strawberry fruit. The finish is clean and maintains fruit, rather than simply presence. A chameleon for culinary pairing,
