Morbinos -> crazy (in a lively and fun sense) in Friulano dialect of Italian.

Malvasia Istriana - 37%
Malvasia Bianca - 63%

Hand Picked from Parish Hill Vineyard of Uraidla, Adelaide Hills

On skins for 4-5 days. Pressed to older oak, left undisturbed for 9 months. 1 month in stainless prior to bottling.

Idea is to be textural and accentuate the fruit characters of the Malvasia without venturing into orange / dried out territory. 

Passionfruit, green mango, jasmine, white peach, exotic spices, scotch finger biscuits (buttery dough), lemon curd, nougat & citrus oil.

Oily upfront, into sweeter fruit, w spiced tannin and fresh / racey acid. Textural w a nice long finish.

Malvasia Bianca brings the racey acid and sweet tropical fruit spectrum. A loud guy at the party. Malvasia Istriana is a bit more of a wall flower, takes a fair bit longer to get to know, but is interesting and layered.
