We love our wine, we love our food, and most of all we love our family. Named after Frank’s three children, Gemma, Alex and Marco, our Mitolo G.A.M. Shiraz represents not only family but the beginning of the Mitolo Wines story. It’s the first wine that Frank crafted in 2000 and sits at the heart of the Mitolo story.
Tasting notes:
Deep and full crimson red. Intensely aromatic, brooding and multi layered nose with flavours of satsuma plum, blackberry and subtle mint complemented by black liquorice, saltbush, iodine and cedar. Savoury, structured and serious palate, packed with black fruits and dried herb. It starts fleshy and smooth, with the tannins building slowly helping to keep the fruit in check. There is a salty, almost iodine like acidity that helps to balance the powerful flavours.

Another successful vintage, the 2017 GAM Shiraz is a bit more savory than usual, with meaty notes and hints of black olives joining rich blackberry flavors. Full-bodied and velvety on the palate, it remains juicy and fresh on the finish, picking up hints of cherries and raspberries. It should drink well for a decade.
