Mitolo Jester McLaren Vale Vermentino 2025

Fresh, coastal, and distinctly vibrant, the 2025 Jester Vermentino from Mitolo is a brilliant example of McLaren Vale’s growing strength in Mediterranean white varieties. Sourced from the Lopresti family’s Lot 10 Vineyard in Whites Valley, where rich Biscay clay soils and cooling sea breezes define the terroir, this Vermentino captures the essence of its coastal origins.

In the glass, it shines pale straw with lively green hues. The nose is aromatic and inviting, showing layers of white stone fruit, fresh pear, and salted lemon, alongside hints of white musk, pawpaw, and a touch of tropical pineapple.
