Once thought to have completely vanished from its native Italian home, Pecorino was rediscovered in the late 20th century amongst the rubble of a neglected vineyard. Pecorino, not to be confused with the sheep-derived hard cheese, can produce highly complex white wines brimming with floral aromatics and textural character. Sourced from McLaren Vale’s first pecorino plantings less than 4km from the coast at Aldinga, Mitolo’s Perduto is no exception.

White - juicy, refreshing, light to medium-bodied

Palate

Fresh, crisp and textural with great drive. Kiwifruit, champagne melon, green papaya and salted lime abound, while shortbread biscuit, lemon curd and dry popcorn add layers of creamy texture and complexity around the wine’s lemon-lime acidity and fine talcy phenolics. There are hints of dark spices and pepper, and the palate profile is ever long, refreshing and moreish.
