MDI Picolit 2022 (6 Bottles) Mildura, VIC

by Fine Wine Cellars

$171.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The MDI Picolit, like the Moscato Giallo, flies in the face of expectations and delivers a lovely wine.

Whilst it’s usually made into rich dessert wines in northeastern Italy, Picolit is a variety which we are seeing more and more in dry table wines in Australia. Having spent 22 days on skins before maturing in old oak, and fully undergoing malolactic fermentation, this is a textural wine with lots of creaminess, which lets the fruit sing.

There’s quince and pear, as well as a touch of vanilla and a hint of marshmallow goodness, with some honeysuckle coming through on the palate.

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.

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
