Quealy Pobblebonk Pinot Grigio Blend 2010

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria   |    750ml   |    12.5%
Kathleen Quealy is undoubtedly Australia's Queen of Pinot Gris/ Grigio having introduced the variety to many Australian wine drinkers during her time at T'Gallant. Quealy continues to make some of Australia's finest examples under her Quealy label, this 'Pobblebonk' blend is one of the more interesting.

The 2010 Quealy 'Pobblebonk' is a Northern Italian varietal blend of Pinot Grigio, Friulano and Chardonnay, with a very small percentage of Muscat Giallo and Riesling. Delicious to drink now, Pobblebonk is an expressive wine that showcasing the adventurous spirit and talented winemaking of Kathleen Queal

"92 Points. Restrained and fine, with bath talc, violet, Nashi pear and anise on display; refreshing in texture and flavour, once again showing plenty of depth while remaining light on its feet; fragrant and fine to conclude. Drink By: 2014 Price: $25.00 Date Tasted: 20 Jan 2011 Alcohol: 12.5%." - James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au

"Mornington Peninsula, Vic / RRP $25. Here’s someone who never sits around waiting to make ‘what they’re all making’. Just as Kathleen Quealy was the first out with a range of Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris which echoed their European origins, it’s only logical that she also tackles the fascinating genre of north Italian multi-varietal blends. From their Balnarring vineyard on Mornington’s ‘sole’, the varieties are interwoven; Pinot Grigio for mineral, texture and its characteristic pear notes, the increasingly interesting Friulano for flowery aromatics, juiciness and zip, Chardonnay for fruit and structure, along with small amounts of Riesling and Moscato Giallo to compliment or complement. This is far from obvious wine, yet it’s thrilling, fresh, lively and deeply interesting. As an important bonus, this is infinitely food friendly." - David Ridge, The Melbourne Review.

Kathleen Quealy began her winemaking training at Wagga Wagga and was both mentored and inspired by her viticulture teacher Dr Max Loder. His love of viticulture was supported by a European philosophy, with the ironic appreciation that in Australia winemakers were dismissive of viticulture, and rather enamoured by new fangled machinery. Her trajectory was including a viticultural understanding into her winemaking. Quealy’s philosophy is her activities have to be real. She understands that they are her grapes, made at her winery by her decisions, and that is how she believes you discover how to make a great wine. Quealy also believes that innovation begins with confinement to one region, after that it is a chess game, how do you extract the most quality out of your region? She believes it is with style and that you have to think outside of the square to achieve results. Quealy also thinks that blending is a significant contributor to quality in winemaking. Blending across varieties can enhance the qualities of all the varieties involved, hence the birth of Pobblebonk and Rageous.
