Critic reviews
Critic reviews
The Wine Front – “Zesty oily quality, citrus essential oils, apricot, a bit of fresh aromatic herbs, pastry with sweet cream and pickled ginger. That touch of something ‘pickled’ (by no means vinegar, maybe preserved is a better word), gives a nice savoury edge to the sweet perfume. Aromas are accentuated just enough, tamed from being extreme with a cleansing bitterness and zesty bite, pithy salty quality on the palate. Cinnamon, ginger, ruby grapefruit on the finish. So good.” - Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front

Quealy Lina Lool 2020
Description
Description
This is named after the aromatic compounds stored in the skins of Moscato Giallo. The 2020 is a blend of Friulano (40%), Moscato Giallo (32%), Riesling (16%) and Malvasia Istriana (12%), all from Quealy’s Balnarring home block. The grapes were added to a rolling ferment as they were harvested, to open-top amphorae, and the wine spent six months on skins. It was then basket-pressed, roughly settled and allowed to mature in old French puncheons before being bottled 12 months later.
In a season defined by low yields, the less common varieties on the peninsula fared much better than the more traditional Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. The long and cool ripening conditions allowed the later ripening varieties to develop flavour and character at a relaxed rate and has resulted in a wine that is teeming with bright aromatics, dense and full flavours and a lovely grippy structure. Ripe citrus and white florals emanate from the glass, while savoury flavours work in tandem with bright and ripe citrus, grippy structure, balanced acidity and a saline splash to close.

Mornington Peninsula Wines
South of Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula grape growing region has a cool, maritime climate that is most known for their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay production. Other varieties that have seen some success here include Pinot Gris and Tempranillo.
However, it does seem that Pinot Noir is their focus judging from the fact that The Mornington Peninsula International Pinot Noir Celebration is held once every two years. The event displays the region’s capabilities in making some of Australia’s finest Pinot Noir in front of local and international audiences.
