The Mitolo "Of The Earth" Pinot Noir 2021 is a vibrant expression of Adelaide Hills' cool-climate terroir, crafted from hand-harvested fruit sourced from the esteemed Whisson Lake vineyard in the Piccadilly Valley. Fermented with gentle agitation and minimal intervention, this wine captures the purity and finesse characteristic of the region.

In the glass, it presents a luminescent ruby hue, offering aromas of crunchy red fruits, sassafras, garden herbs, and a bright maritime freshness. On the palate, it is lively and energetic, reminiscent of a Cru Beaujolais in its current expression, making it particularly enjoyable when served slightly chilled.

Critically acclaimed, this vintage received a 93-point rating from Ned Goodwin of the Wine Companion, who noted "It has been a while since I tasted an Adelaide Hills pinot worth getting excited about. This comes close. A tad green, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. It will build in stature." 

With an alcohol content of 13%, the 2021 "Of The Earth" Pinot Noir is both approachable now and has the potential to age gracefully over the next few years. It pairs beautifully with dishes like roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or grilled salmon, making it a versatile choice for various occasions.

This wine exemplifies the elegance and finesse characteristic of top-tier Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir, making it a worthy addition to any wine enthusiast's collection.
