Pinot Grigio

Smells like summer. Honey and hay. This wine is screaming out for food. Ya gotta have it with food. Versatility is key – you can have it with anything. That's what Grigio is all about, why it’s so good. It just works.

Rock solid. Reliable. It's got the seduction factor. It sings a PG song. Lures you in. Very, very easy wine. It is just so bloody approachable. 

Will that do? That'll do hey.

Better in person.

Friulano

 

Skin.Ed XIV

This wine marks a genuine progression for MDI, it won’t always be like this but those grapes left us with no choice - it had to be. 

Rich golden colour, fully developed phenolics giving delicate texture.
The 2023 MDI Friulano is a patient bastard.

Skin.Ed CLXXVI

Our third year of the cellar blend. 

Northern (Friuli - Friulano) and southern Italy (Sicily - Ansonica) meet somewhere in the middle.

Expect stone fruits, orange peel and a little ginger. Textural though not clearly skinsy. Clarity shines. 

It's Mildura with a modern twist.

Ansonica

Skin.Ed CXX

The closest to Kev’s heart, [even though it’s from Sicily]. Best of all the colours, perfect polished gleaming gold. It’s like ahh, it makes you feel good. It’s one of those colours.

It’s got fuckin everything, depth, density, weight, seduction, gorgeous. 
It’s a ridiculous wine. Everyone is going to want it.

Ribolla Gialla

Skin.Ed CXLIV

The most revered of all varieties in its homeland, Collio Brda.
Half a year on skins and then French oak. Unheard of in modern white wine.

This wine has never been made before. We made the pilgrimage so you can drink it.

Refosco

Dense. Profound. The deepest, darkest red.

Connects to the old world, to Europe, a rustic beauty.

Unfined and unfiltered. 

From the Farnsworth Vineyard in Mildura, balanced, savoury and ripe.

Sangiovese

We thought the Friulano was off the wall off the vine. Well this is a complete and utter sidestepper. A genuine article, rested in the best quality oak money can buy. 

Dark brooding black fruit (not a monster). Elegant, refined – the palate also. 

Thank Denis, he nails it every time. 

Better in person.

aglianico

Handpicked mid-April in pristine condition. 11 days on skins, wild fermented with just the occasional gentle punchdown. Rested in seasoned puncheon and barrique — untouched, unrushed. Bottled July 2024.

Cooler, wetter conditions in Mildura this year gave us something seriously special — fine-boned structure, lifted aromatics, and all the detail you want from this variety.

There’s a beautiful heaviness too, a kind of grounded elegance.
