A little bit more about us... Passion for his vineyard, an inherent love of the environment, and a desire to produce exquisite wines year after year.... these are the driving forces behind Domenic Mondillo.

Born in Rhode Island in the United States, Mondillo is the grandson of Italian immigrants. His Italian heritage is steeped in many generations of cooking great food and making superb wine. Mondillo moved to Queenstown, New Zealand in 1981 where he owned two multi-award winning restaurants before becoming involved in the Central Otago wine industry in 1992 and went on to establish Mondillo Vineyards with his wife Ally in 2000 at Bendigo.

A single estate wine producer, the Mondillo Vineyards 22-hectare (56 acres) property specializes in elegant Pinot Noir, Riesling, Rose and Late Harvest ‘Nina’ dessert wine. Mondillo wines can be found in fine dining restaurants and wine shops around New Zealand, and in exclusive locations in the United States.
