About the Wine
The MDI Moscato Giallo is really not what you'd usually expect from this grape.
Rather than being sweet and bubbly, this wine is dry and still but with plenty of lovely fruit characters, such as grapefruit, melon, pineapple and lychee, making it quite an attractive wine to smell. With 14 days on skins, the wine is medium bodied and has quite a full mouthfeel, and the phenolics give it interest but without being too aggressive, maintaining the softness that often comes from the Moscato Giallo grape.
If you're looking for something a little different to drink, then the MDI Moscato Giallo should challenge your beliefs about what this grape can do.
About MDI
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.

From the Producer
Moscato Giallo (like all other Muscats), is highly aromatic. So the intention here was to make a dry, skin-contact Muscat with soft phenolics and amazing aromatic drive. This spent 14 days on skins in open stainless steel vats, and then had a very light press to barrel for as much lees contact as possible. The wine went through 100% malo and just a touch of sulphur was employed at bottling.

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
