Serve well chilled with pan‑seared prawns, grilled calamari or a simple goat’s cheese salad, best enjoyed in a relaxed early‑evening gathering with friends. This MDI Grillo 2022 Murray Darling release is an excellent buy for those who want a crisp, aromatic white with real texture and drink‑now appeal without tipping into sweetness.

MDI Grillo 2022 from Murray Darling opens with a lifted, citrus‑led intensity drawn from irrigated vineyards in the Murray Darling plains, shaped by a small, hands‑on outfit that focuses on freshness and varietal purity. This wine is a smart choice for anyone who enjoys bright, food‑friendly whites that can stand up to grilled seafood and light pasta dishes.

On the nose there is lemon zest, lime, green apple and subtle white flowers layered with a whisper of river‑stone minerality and a hint of fresh herbs, framed by bright acidity and a fine‑grained texture. The palate is light‑medium yet layered, with a clean, saline finish that keeps you reaching back to the glass throughout the meal.
