A rare, aromatic Picolit with lifted florals, honeyed citrus and beautifully poised sweetness.

MDI Picolit 2023 is a distinctive and uncommon Australian expression of this Friulian variety, crafted in a luscious yet finely balanced style. Aromatic, gently sweet and driven by natural acidity, it showcases the variety’s hallmark perfume and elegance while remaining fresh and composed. Produced in limited quantities, this is a wine for those who enjoy something a little different - expressive, textural and quietly complex.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Orange blossom, honeysuckle and citrus peel with hints of stone fruit and spice.

• Palate: Silky and layered, showing honeyed citrus, apricot and floral notes carried by bright acidity.

• Finish: Long, fragrant and clean with lingering sweetness and lift.

Serving Suggestions

Serve well chilled at 6–8°C. Ideal at the end of a meal, or alongside fruit-based desserts and soft cheeses.
