Mitolo 'Angela', McLaren Vale 2020 (750ml)
Product price
Description
Mitolo's Angela is a 2020 Shiraz from McLaren Vale's southern reaches, made in an aromatic, perfumed style that leans toward elegance rather than brute force. This is the Small Batch Series expression from a producer working in South Australia's most celebrated warm-climate red region.
The wine hits with blue fruit vibrancy and a surprising delicacy in the mouth, blackberry and plum flesh carry notes of aniseed, deli meat, pink peppercorn, and a thin seam of savory spice. There's chocolate and liquorice on the nose, backed by toasty oak that builds structure without overwhelming the fruit. The tannins are firm but neat, providing length and backbone before they fade, leaving the impression of a wine that's both powerful and proportionate. This is immediately appealing and easy to enjoy, without sacrificing substance.

Expert Reviews
The 2020 Small Batch Series Angela Shiraz is made in an aromatic style: it is perfumed and elegant. The fruit is sourced from the southern part of the Vale. In the mouth, the wine sings with blue fruits and vibrancy. It has notes of deli meat, aniseed, blackberry and plush fruit—powerful and neat. This is quite lovely, with coulis and pink peppercorn—moreish.
Opaque in color. The 2020 Angela is a big, generous, crowd-pleasing Shiraz from Mitolo. The nose offers chocolate, blackberry and liquorice aromas with a nice touch of savory spice and toasty oak. Dry and full-flavored, this has been well constructed with oak tannins providing length and backbone before fading away a little on the finish.
