Mitolo Wines is a celebrated winery in McLaren Vale, rooted in Italian heritage and inspired by a passion for crafting exceptional wines. Founded in 2000, the winery initially focused on Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from some of the region’s most prized vineyards. Over time, Mitolo expanded its range to include Italian varieties, reflecting its Abruzzo roots and the region’s Mediterranean climate.
The winery’s fruit comes predominantly from the southern districts of McLaren Vale, such as Sellicks Hill and Whites Valley. These areas are known for rich soils, cooling breezes from Gulf St. Vincent, and consistent sunlight, all of which contribute to wines of depth, intensity, and vibrant acidity. With a philosophy of blending tradition and innovation, Mitolo continues to craft wines that embody character and elegance.
The Mitolo Wines Cellar Door offers a serene setting surrounded by vineyards, overlooking Turraparri Creek and the Mount Lofty Ranges. Visitors can enjoy guided wine tastings that explore the craftsmanship behind each bottle, gaining insight into the unique terroir and Italian-inspired winemaking approach. The Cellar Door experience includes a selection of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Italian varietals, providing a diverse tasting journey.
