A wine inspired by Italy's Super Tuscans. This 6-year project has finally come to fruition, with the launch of the 2022 Mitolo Mescia Super McLaren. This deliciously plush but savoury wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (67%), Sangiovese (22%) and Montepulciano (11%) fruit, predominantly from the highly sought after area of White’s Valley within McLaren Vale, a small but revered viticultural area, on the southern end of the Vale, a mere few kilometres from the ocean. The Mediterranean influence is undeniable. Complex savory tannins, powerful fruit expression, timeless elegance.

Complex, beguiling yet restrained, and harmoniously integrated. Blueberry, black berry, blackcurrant, red cherry and elegant strawberry tones enmesh with gorgeous floral notes of rose petal and violets, which belie the incredible depth of the wine. Dark and white spices, white leather, and engaging hints of balsamic herbs and atlas cedar compliment the aromatic fruit. On the palate, savoury nuances abound, with toasted dark spices, dry roasted almond, fine fresh and dried herbs. A svelte, silky texture is overlain upon incredibly fine mineral tannin with polished slate and soft chalk, met with elevated fresh acidity providing a compellingly long drive and seamless finish.
