by Fine Wine Cellars

$134.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

A new wine in the MDI firmament, this is a blend of Ansonica from the Vinifera vineyard in Murray Darling and Friulano from the Pasut vineyard. Native to Sicily, Ansonica is a sturdy grape with a bronze hue and leathery skin.

Ideal for skin contact, the grapes are packed with phenolic character and integrity, allowing Kev to chase down that seductive texture found in the great skinsy wines of the world. Friulano is another variety made all the better by contact with its skin.

The wines fermented separately and spent 16 days on skins before being drained and pressed to tank. Once settled, the wine was racked to a mix of large and small format seasoned French oak.

About MDI Wines

MDI doubles down on its maker’s skin contact infamy, releasing ongoing limited editions of unique, small batch varietals that even Google won’t know.

Born from our winemaker Kev’s decades of experience (and success) in the region, the brand champions its local growers, esoteric European varieties, and traditional, sustainable winemaking methods. Hung on Sangiovese and Pinot Grigio – with a punk edge,

Mandi are all about showcasing the best of the best of Mildura’s Mediterranean varieties.

Winemaker Kevin McCarthy is a bit of a wine rebel – cutting his teeth originally in the Mornington Peninsula, his winemaking philosophy became shaped by multiple trips to Europe.

He learned all there is to know about skin contact wine, directly from northern Italian winemakers themselves, and he applies all that knowledge to his wonderful fleet of great value, alternative variety Aussie wines.

Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
