What the Experts Say
(Review is of the 2015 vintage.)
The 2014 was a love it or loathe it style; this 2015 release is more straight down the line. It drinks well. It fruity and bright without being too sweet; it tastes as much of stonefruit and apple as it does of cherry and earth; it has a soft, easy-going nature.
87/100 - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
Our Notes
Made from the Sangiovese grapes used in various bold Tuscan wines, this McLaren Vale “Jester” Rosé from Mitolo takes a gentler approach, pressing off skins and fermenting at low temperatures for 2-3 weeks to create a crisp wine with lifted floral aromas.
Some summer berry notes hint at the red-grape origin of the wine, but are complimented by a floral nose and notes of white peach and melon to create a wine perfectly at home with fresh seafood served simply.
Winemakers Comments
Lifted and floral with notes of white peach, strawberry and fresh cut melon. Fresh, crisp and delicate with bright summer berry flavours that are complemented by a long, dry finish. The perfect accompaniment to a seafood dish.
A cool and mild growing season in 2019 led to a relatively warm summer. Sangiovese holds its natural acidity well creating a bright, full flavoured and refreshingly crisp rosé. We carefully harvest the Sangiovese grapes by hand during the evening, then leave them to cool naturally as the temperature drops overnight at our winery. The following day the grapes are destemmed, crushed and pressed immediately off skins, to keep the colour to a minimum. The juice is then fermented at very low temperatures for two to three weeks until it is completely dry. The wine is cold stabilised and filtered before bottling where it waits to be enjoyed.
About the Winery
Founded by Frank Mitolo and run in close collaboration with growers the Loprestis, Mitolo run according to an initial business plan of just six words: individuality, integrity, quality, purity, elegance and power.
The Italian heritage shared by Mitolo and the Loprestis (Mitolo’s family hail from the Abruzzo region of Italy) is as strong an influence as the unique soils of the McLaren Vale, and inspired the company’s aspiration to create wines that are forte e gentile, or strong and gentle.

Not too sweet and not too dry - perfect. I love the spicy notes and Ive taken it to cards nights - everyone loved it and now they know he best place to buy it.
Very good prices and parcel arrived well packed. The only thing is it takes quite a bit of time to arrive. I guess it's the Post Office's issue but I would recommend order early so as not to miss your party.
