The di Lusso Estate Mudgee


Parla come mangi! – Speak the language of your food
"Over the years, since the early 1990's in fact, I'm beginning to think, and more importantly TALK about wine and food like an Italian. First it was grapes and olives, then figs I 'had' to grow on my farm; then herbs and vegetables. Earlier this year it was saffron. From February I'm 'going locavore' with the wine-tasting food I serve in my winery."

Lots of harvest news at di Lusso...!

Pinot Grigio fruit has arrived at di Lusso from Orange – a region well known for its high altitude and cool climate. While our 2012 Pinot Grigio style will remain basically the same, this year for the first time we have whole-bunch pressed some of our fruit. We’re expecting a really good outcome from this method when the wine is bottled at the end of May.

We are also about to bottle our first Mudgee Pinot Grigio fruit from the 2011 vintage – this wine will be the first release under our new “Cypress Avenue” label. The label is a graphic representation of a photo I took several years ago at Montalcino in Tuscany. Also appearing under this label – which covers those wines which while we are proud of are not representative of our di Lusso style – is a 2011 Sangiovese.
