Mitolo, Jester Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Product Information Country Australia Region McLaren Vale Grape Variety Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage 2020 ABV 14.5 % Discover the bold character and coastal finesse of the Mitolo Jester Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, a premium McLaren Vale red wine crafted from the renowned Lopresti Lot 11 Vineyard in Whites Valley. Just minutes from the South Australian coastline, this vineyard benefits from cooling sea breezes and rich Biscay clay soils layered with limestone, delivering vibrant fruit with depth, structure, and elegance. This 2020 vintage Cabernet Sauvignon showcases classic varietal intensity. Dark cherry, blackberry, and sweet plum are beautifully balanced with savoury layers of sage, clove, and hints of cola nut. Undertones of leather and dried tobacco leaf emerge through the long, refined finish. Aged for 12 months in seasoned French and American oak hogshead barrels, this wine offers silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and medium-bodied structure, making it a standout for cellaring or immediate enjoyment. Vinified under cool fermentation conditions with gentle extraction, the wine retains its fruit vibrancy while developing complex layers of flavour and aroma. Unfined and lightly filtered, this is a wine of integrity and regional expression.
