Mitolo Jester Vermentino 2020 (90 VM)
“Extremely pale straw. Vibrant citrus pith, green apple and succulent herbs on the nose, along with salty overtone. Chewy and focused on the palate, offering fresh lemon/lime and pear flavors and a hint of ginger. The pear and herb notes carry through a long, smooth finish that features a hint of dusty minerality.” -J.R 9/22

Frank Mitolo and Ben Glaetzer spent considerable time researching the choice of varietal for Mitolo's first white wine, and Vermentino was chosen as a grape that matches well with food and that would suit the McLaren Vale region. The maritime climate of McLaren Vale perfectly reflects that of the Mediterranean coastal districts of Corsica and Sardinia from which this varietal is best known. Warm days and cool, breezy nights allow for the grapes to develop balanced acidity and fresh fruit flavors.
