{"product_id":"mitolo-jester-shiraz-2021","title":"Mitolo “Jester” Shiraz 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eA juicy, fruit-rich Shiraz with plum, blackberry, and smooth spice. Approachable, generous, and an excellent entry to the Mitolo style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Jester Shiraz embodies the playful yet proud character of Mitolo Wines, a family-owned estate in McLaren Vale whose Italian roots shape a philosophy of warmth, generosity, and craftsmanship. The Jester range was created to offer wines that are approachable, fruit-driven, and vibrant, while still carrying the precision and elegance that define Mitolo’s style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcLaren Vale is one of Australia’s most celebrated wine regions, famed for its maritime climate, cooling sea breezes from the Gulf St Vincent, and ancient clay and gravel soils. These conditions allow Shiraz to ripen fully while retaining freshness, producing wines of both richness and poise. In 2020, an even, moderate growing season delivered fruit of exceptional purity and balance, perfectly suited to the Jester style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the Jester Shiraz 2020 reveals ripe blackberry, plum, and dark cherry, lifted by notes of liquorice, chocolate, and spice. The palate is generous and juicy, showing layers of dark fruit with savoury accents of black olive and dried herbs. Supple, fine-grained tannins give structure without heaviness, while bright acidity adds vibrancy. The finish is smooth, lingering, and polished, making it as enjoyable now as it will be with a few years of careful cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Crushed Grape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57376083542351,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/2550\/0239\/files\/Mitolo_Jester.jpg?v=1777558454","url":"https:\/\/crushedgrape.co.uk\/products\/mitolo-jester-shiraz-2021","provider":"The Crushed Grape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
