Late Summer Wines

September is going to be a fantastic month, weather-wise. Or so claims Mr C! If it continues like today he may just be right.

So for late summer drinking what do we have? How about the Mitolo Jester Rosé?

I have a little glass in my hand as I type - a clever trick indeed! The wine is dry, crisply so on the finish. Some may say this makes it incredibly food friendly, and they wouldn't be wrong, but it is a delight to sip on its own. Interestingly it is made from Sangiovese, a grape of Italian origin, that doesn't have huge plantings in Australia but on the strength of this (and others) it is proving its worth.

Cherry fruit, raspberries, quite deep and 'manly', even a lick of tannin perhaps just to get those gums a-quivering. For £9.99 I have to say it is superb.

Mitolo Jester Sangiovese Rosé £9.99.
