'Bordering on perfection is the 2004 Shiraz Savitar. Made from 30 to 50 year-old vines, and aged 18 months in 100% new French hogsheads as well as smaller barriques, it boasts an opaque purple color, and an extraordinary nose of acacia flowers, blueberries, raspberries, and blacker fruits, melted licorice, and graphite. It possesses amazing intensity, great equilibrium, a fabulous, multi-layered mid-palate, and a blockbuster finish. This extraordinary Shiraz should prove to be one of the legends of southern Australia’s great 2004 vintage. Drink it over the next 12-15 years. For a winery only established in 1999, and dedicated to hand-crafted, artisinal wines, Mitolo has consistently been a revelation in my tastings. Thanks to owner Frank Mitolo and his brilliant winemaker, Ben Glaetzer, the quality has been truly splendid. Drink 2005-2020'
Robert Parker


Mitolo's notes:

Vineyard
The grapes come from the Willunga district of McLaren Vale, where the heavy grey loam soils over sandstone, intermixed with black Biscay clay, combined with the maritime climate, contribute to an even ripening period and the development of rich fruit flavours and ripe tannins. Yield is around 1-2 tonnes per acre.

Vintage - 2004
A longer than usual vintage attributed to cool conditions during ripening which was welcomed by winemakers who reported that red wine quality is extremely good. Shiraz fruit showed full flavour ripeness, excellent colour and tannins, with wines exhibiting great varietal flavours and aromas.

Winemaking
Each parcel of fruit for Savitar is fermented on skins for 10 days in 2 tonne fermentation vessels. The wine is then pressed and undergoes partial barrel fermentation followed by a natural malolactic fermentation before racking.

18 months in 100% new medium to light toasted Allier/Nevers barriques and hogsheads.

Tasting Note
Dark blood plum characters on the nose intermingled with cloves and blackcurrant. A restrained and tightly structured palate that will benefit from a few years in the cellar.

Cellaring
Will age reliably for 15 years.
