About the wine makers:

Mitolo

McLaren Vale based Mitolo is a family owned winery established in 1999 by Frank Mitolo whose Italian family roots inspired his early interest and enthusiasm for good food and great wine. Winemaker Ben Glaetzer became a partner in the business in 2001. The fusion of Frank's knowledge of the land and business acumen and Ben's winemaking talent has resulted in one of Australia's most awarded wineries.

Innocent Bystander

Innocent Bystander takes the quality and regionality message very seriously, but manages to have fun along the way. Founded in 2004 by Phil Sexton, Phil works with their own vineyards and like-minded growers to select fruit from the best sites for each variety. The Innocent Bystander range is a mix of the tried and tested (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir - the varieties the Yarra Valley does best) and the new and quirky (Pinot Gris and Pink Moscato) that highlights the cool climate of Victoria.
