MITOLO GAM SHIRAZ

Mitolo G.A.M. Shiraz 2018

A fruitful and expressive nose of red plum, sweet red cherry and blackberry. Sweet spices of cinnamon and vanilla, and notes of Dutch chocolate. The rich and generous palate carries the plum, cherry and blackberry from the nose. Creamy chocolate and velvety textures surround well-structured, mouth filling tannins, giving the wine ample mid-palate breadth. Succulent acidity frames the wine perfectly, leaving a satisfying and moreish finish.

G.A.M. | Range | MITOLO WINES

STORY
Mitolo’s first release, G.A.M. was named in honour of Frank Mitolo’s three children – Gemma, Alexander and Marco.

STYLE
G.A.M. was the first and remains the flagship wine of the estate. A Shiraz that embodies the Mitolo credo: strong and gentle. Uncompromising intensity and depth, supple complexity of fruit and savory flavors.

VINEYARD
Lopresti Home Block and Lot 10 – Flour Mill Rd, Whites Valley. Soils across these two blocks include grey to brown sandy clays, brown cracking clays and black Biscay clays sitting over alluvial Ngaltinga formation. These highly reputed soils maintain soil moisture during the growing season then dry out and crack open in summer, controlling vine vigour and concentrating flavours in the fruit. Cooling sea breezes off the Gulf of St Vincent mediate daytime heat and keep nights cool, retaining acidity and vibrancy.
