Mitolo Savitar Shiraz 2014 (92 WA)
“Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Shiraz Savitar offers black and red currants on the nose with hints of aniseed, cloves, chocolate box and bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is surprising elegant and softly textured, with a quiet intensity of red and black fruit, finishing long and spicy.”

“Savitar” is a mythical dragon-like monster, and this wine is so named because of the impression Frank Mitolo and Ben Glaetzer had upon tasting one particular lot in the Willunga vineyard. They were so blown away they decided to make a Shiraz from just the small lot, and Savitar was created.
