{"product_id":"mdi-picolit-2023","title":"MDI Picolit 2023","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePicolit is a notoriously difficult grape to farm. It has a reputation\nfor poor fruit set and dismal yields, but that might not be such a bad thing in\nMurray Darling. As opposed to the more bumper crop levels sometimes reached in\nthe region (10 tonnes per acre is not outside the norm), the most you can hope\nfor from Picolit is about three tonnes to the acre. We don’t need to tell you\nwhat this means for quality. It’s a rare variety, even in its native Friuli,\nwith small bunches of thick-skinned little berries of a sun-flecked, golden\ncolour. The fruit was picked from Denis Pasut’s vineyard in Mildura in early\nMarch, destemmed and left on skins until the last day of winter. The wine was pressed\nto a couple of seasoned hogsheads, where it again rested, undisturbed, until bottling\nin July 2024.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MDI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47903538577646,"sku":"23738-750","price":18.33,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/7468\/3630\/files\/fc189c78-5484-ef11-ac3f-02cd372e28bf_23738-750.png?v=1776323129","url":"https:\/\/www.bibendum.com.au\/products\/mdi-picolit-2023","provider":"Bibendum Wine Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
