Picked from a block of gris on the Napoleone Vineyard in the Yarra Valley which is nurtured to hang a touch longer, with better tannin maturity than the fruit picked for the Punt Road Pinot Gris. Whole berry and whole bunch ferments are conducted in isolation in one-tonne open pots. They were pressed separately to oak this year, but in the end both went in their entirety into the blend. The bunch ferments developed a very significant funk this year, and it was good to see this in the finished wine. The berry ferments supply musk flavour and fruit sweetness. Its all about the bunch though: Campari, aniseed and kombucha. Unfined and minimally filtered. The perfect companion in Spring or Summer.

This Chardonnay has opposing elements of minerality and creaminess make this an outstanding, complex wine. The aromas and flavours of lemon pith, chamomile, just ripe nectarine and apricot are underlain by fine grained, smoky oak.The grapes were whole bunch pressed and the free run and pressings separated for fermentation. After chilling, 50% of the unsettled juice was placed in 500 litre puncheons and 228 litre barriques for fermentation. At the end of fermentation, the wine was left on yeast lees for 8 months. The lees were stirred weekly. The remaining juice was fermented in tank to retain the fresh aromas and flavours of the variety. This wine also remained on yeast lees for an extended period of time. The restraint on this wine suggests it will continue to age and improve in bottle. While waiting for the magic to happen, enjoy the wine now with a classic freshly shucked oysters with a dot of green apple granita.

Quealy were the first Aussie winemakers to produce a Friulano, a grape variety that hails from Friuli in north eastern Italy. A wine of interest with masses of flavour.Vibrant lemon green. Expressive and powerful nose of ripe melon, cashew and marzipan. Rich and ripe with lashings of stonefruit and citrus, complex nutty complexity, slatey minerality, supple textural notes and a long, savoury finish.

Not your traditional Pinot Gris here. Skin contact (2months) lends complexity and depth, alongside its ruby colour. Expect tropical fruit and loads of pears and apples.

Clean and bright aromas; fleeting touches of passionfruit lead into a palate with very good thrust, flavour and length before faltering slightly on the finish.
