Quealy Friulano 2022, Quealy Winemakers, Balnarring, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. This certified organic stunner from sun-kissed vines glows straw-gold with gentle haze, exploding with honeyed ginger, cumin spice, persimmon fruit, angelica blossom, parsley root, and lemon rind perfume. The extraordinary palate marries intellectual structure with thick, creamy Crème Pâtissière mouthfeel – savoury grapefruit core, cumquat layers, peppery spice, and saline freshness that lingers with profound volume and poise. The Quealy Friulano 2022, cool-fermented 12 days on skins then amphora-aged, captures Friuli’s ancient magic in Aussie terroir at elegant alcohol – textural genius that’ll cellar beautifully.

Pair with spanner crab pasta, prosciutto-wrapped figs, or roast veal to ignite its spice and cream synergy. Nab this boundary-pushing masterpiece now – Mornington Peninsula’s most compelling white, guaranteed to convert sceptics.​
