Components are matured ten months in a selection of seasoned and new French and American oak barriques before being considered for inclusion into the final assemblage.

"Another new winery predestined for success!" -James Halliday

The Mitolo Greenock vineyard lies approximately 15km to the North-West of the geographical heart of the Barossa Valley. The altitude of Greenock varies markedly with the undulating hills, the Mitolo vineyards sitting at approximately 440 metres ASL. The vineyard rows have a North/South orientation meaning the canopy captures maximum sunlight throughout the day and is cooled by the southerly valley winds during the afternoon. This orientation also reduces the risk of canopy damage during days of intense heat and hot northerly winds. Average daily maximum temperature during summer is 25 degrees with a cool 12 degrees average night temperature. The vineyard is supplementary drip irrigated as the light sandy soil has exceptionally poor water holding capacity, on average the vines receive only one period of non-rainfall irrigation per season.
