The 2026 MDI Friulano Skin Ed XI is a distinctive Australian skin-contact white made from Friulano, with the current vintage listed as part of MDI’s range. The style typically shows bright citrus, orchard fruit and floral notes, complemented by almond, herbs and a savoury edge from skin contact.
On the palate, it is dry and textural with fresh acidity and gentle phenolic grip. Citrus peel, pear and subtle nutty characters give the wine depth, leading to a clean, savoury and lightly mineral finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for customers exploring textured and skin-contact whites beyond conventional styles. Its combination of freshness, savoury complexity and gentle grip makes it particularly food-friendly. Ideal with grilled prawns, roast chicken, seafood, antipasto or firm cheeses.
