MDI Wines x Josh Robenstone
A pop-up urban cellar door and photo exhibition, rolled into one.
Overview
Art and vino prove the perfect pairing at Fitzroy's new pop-up cellar door meets photography exhibition.
Championing skin contact wine grown in the Murray Darling region, along with the winemaking practices of Northeast Italy, new local label MDI Wines (formerly Mandi) is an emerging favourite of Melbourne's wine-sipping circuit. And until Monday, June 27, it's taking over the Gertrude Street event space At The Above for a tasting experience with a difference.
The pop-up urban cellar door is not only pouring tastings of MDI's new-release drops, but showcasing an exhibition of works by celebrated Aussie photographer Josh Robenstone. While you sip and swirl, you'll be able to scope out pieces from the artist's BASTA! series, alongside additional works that have never been shown before.
The featured snaps are from Robenstone's 2011 travels through Italian spots like the Amalfi Coast, Milan and Rome. What's more, their energy has been captured anew for the photographer's most recent designs, which you'll recognise gracing MDI's wine labels.
The pop-up is open for tastings and gallery browsing from 10am–6pm Thursday to Sunday, taking walk-ins only. The MDI crew is also planning more exhibits and artists to join them at the cellar door over the coming months.
