Quealy is a true pioneer by any definition. Kathleen Quealy and Kevin McCarthy were the producer to identify Mornington Peninsula's potential with Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio and their work with this variety made the grape a household name in Australia.
This wine is sourced from a range of sites chosen to ensure full ripeness at moderate yield, this bottling is confidently modelled on the finest Grigio from Friuli/Collio. Put bluntly, with its juicy, pulpy texture, aromatic finesse and steely spine, this is a wine that's light-years away from Grigio's bland, quaffing stereotype.
“Kathleen Quealy and Kevin McCarthy were among the early waves of winemakers on the Mornington Peninsula. They challenged the status quo - most publicly by introducing Mornington Peninsula pinot gris/grigio (with great success). Behind this was improvement and diversification in site selection, plus viticulture and winemaking techniques that allowed their business to grow significantly.” James Halliday, Winecompanion.com.au
“This husband and wife winemaking team have done much to change the face of Australian wine, bringing pinot gris/grigio into the mainstream and championing alternative varieties. The future looks bright for Quealy Winemakers, with eldest son Tom joining the business in 2012. Great things are seldom born of conformity.” Huon Hooke, Gourmet Traveller Wine
