Mitolo Jester Sangiovese Rosé 2025 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 88/100

Mitolo Jester Sangiovese Rosé from McLaren Vale in South Australia is a dry, light-bodied rosé crafted from Sangiovese grapes hand-harvested in the early morning hours to lock in every nuance of freshness and aromatic vitality, a thoughtful approach that sets this wine apart from more casually produced warm-climate rosés. Pale salmon in the glass, it charms with a nose of dried rose petal, white peach and a delicate suggestion of lemon verbena, flowing into flavours of pomelo, rhubarb and a cool whisper of crushed chalk on the palate, all carried by a bright, mouthwatering acidity and a crisp, clean finish that makes every sip feel alive and refreshing. It is off-dry with a featherlight body, best served well chilled, and will drink beautifully through 2028. Mitolo is one of McLaren Vale's most admired producers, originally founded as a passion project by Frank Mitolo whose family had deep roots in South Australian viticulture long before the winery was formally established, and the Jester range has since become a beloved gateway into the estate's characterful, site-driven style. Serve it alongside grilled salmon skewers with saffron rice and fresh peas, where the wine's bright acidity and delicate fruit will complement the dish's gentle richness beautifully, or pair it with a charcuterie board of thinly sliced cured meats and fresh fig, letting its chalk minerality and refreshing finish cut through every rich, savory bite.

Sangiovese Rosé food pairings: charcuterie, grilled salmon skewers with rice and peas.
