2023 MDI Grillo
Description
WINEMAKER: Kevin & Celia McCarthy
REGION: Mildura, VIC.
VARIETY: Grillo
VITICULTURE: Minimal Intervention
"The MDI Grillo is a bright and refreshing expression of the classic Sicilian variety, combining vibrant citrus fruit, subtle texture and savoury Mediterranean character. Crafted in a modern minimal-intervention style, the wine focuses on purity, freshness and drinkability while still offering lovely complexity and regional personality. The nose opens with lemon zest, grapefruit and white peach layered alongside fresh herbs, sea spray, citrus blossom and subtle mineral notes. There’s a lively aromatic lift and gentle saline edge that gives the wine plenty of energy and charm.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp natural acidity, juicy fruit and a soft textural feel. Fresh citrus and orchard fruit flavours are balanced by delicate herbal notes, subtle savoury complexity and a clean mineral line that carries through the finish. Bright and refreshing in style, the wine remains vibrant and highly approachable while still offering lovely depth and balance." - winemore.com.au

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
