"Immensely charming, this is seriously good. The elegantly fragrant bouquet shows red apple raspberry, floral and subtle spice aromas, leading to a succulent palate that's beautifully rounded and flowing. It's wonderfully framed by fleshy texture and refreshing acidity, finishing textural and delicious. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2022

A lusciously refreshing wine with aromas of strawberries and watermelon combined with a cherry dry finish – dry style, stunning flavours.

Mondillo is a single vineyard at Bendigo, a sub-region of Central Otago, that was developed and planted by Domenic Mondillo in 2001. The vineyard landscape is made up of three terraces consisting of free-draining alluvial soils. The vineyard is meticulously managed to produce low yielding, high quality, concentrated fruit. Mondillo fruit is always hand harvested when the fruit is at its physiological ripeness ensuring the optimum flavours are captured with a true reflection of terroir.

Mondillo Rosé contains 100% Pinot Noir grapes from a defined parcel of the vineyard grown specifically for our Rosé. The single clone selected offers this wine red fruit flavours with a mid-palate lusciousness and fruit sweetness. Our Rosé fruit was de-stemmed with the juice left on the skins for 48 hours to establish the vibrant strawberry-pink colour and then gently pressed.

Food Pairing: Perfect for any event, celebration or dinner party over the summer months. Enjoy with salads, grilled prawns, salmon, risotto, rock melon & prosciutto! Serve chilled.
