We have already reviewed the northern Italian inspired Pobblebonk white blend from Quealy Wines on these pages, as well as the single varietal Friulano fermented in clay amphorae. In terms of pricing, the Pinot Grigio/Friulano blend sits below the other two wines in the Quealy hierarchy, yet it is an equally attractive wine.
Wonderfully aromatic and with courage to be different, it delivers an enticing mix of apple/pear orchard fruit married with apricot and lemon citrus. It is a vibrant, lively, life affirming wine that will elevate any occasion.
2010 PINOT GRIGIO FRIULANO
Producer: Quealy Wines
Variety: Pinot Grigio blend
Vintage: 2010
Region: Mornington Peninsula, Victoria
ABV: 13.0%
Closure: Screw cap
Format: 750ml
Retail price: $20.00
Date tasted: 21 July 2012
Tasting Note:
Pale lemon yellow. Lifted aromatic nose of apricot, quince, green apples and lemon citrus. Dry, medium bodied, very textured and round, punctuated with lively acidity. The wine displays a lovely balance of the two varieties; pear, apple and apricot. Good length. Very drinkable and extremely good value.
Score: 16.5/20
