Quealy 2019 Pinot Gris (750mL)

Varietal	Pinot Gris
Style	Juicier than juicy

Our Notes

A savoury take on the style, with fresh-baked bread and quince jam showing on the palate. Lean and bright, quaffable, lightly honeyed, an approachable spring or summer wine from the pioneers of Mornington - and Australian! - pinot gris.

Single vineyard, the red-clay former flower farm "Tussie Mussie", with all the character that entails.

From The Winemaker

Pinot Gris like Pinot Noir are so distinguished by their site. Tussie Mussie Vineyard, formerly a flower farm, grows in the choccy red, iron rich soil of Merricks North. It's a generous wine with a luscious stone fruit palate; honey, heavy bottomed pears, creamy classic Pinot Gris. The mud brick homestead and original rambling house gardens are sensitively maintained as a boutique retreat.

About the Winery

As winemakers for T'Gallant, husband-and-wife duo Kathleen Quealy and Kevin McCarthy carved out a real niche both for the Mornington Peninsula and for the Pinot Gris grape, previously rarely planted in Australia but now a best-seller.

Now working under a label named for Kathleen, the pair continue to focus on pinot, the Peninsula and on maximally-handcrafted ones, often taken from and named for a single vineyard. Italian varietals and techniques are a point of interest for the couple, as are sustainable winemaking techniques.
