Quealy Feri Maris Pinot Grigio 2022

Quealy Feri Maris Pinot Grigio is the top single-block Grigio from the organic home vineyard at Balnarring.

At the top of the Grigio range sits a single block of 1996 plantings, the oldest vines on the property, dry-grown in shallow clay and cropping lightly. The early-flavouring Balnarring climate allows picking before the acidity slips. Whole-bunch pressing again yielded just 580 litres per tonne. Fermentation was natural, split 70 per cent stainless steel and 30 per cent barrel with half of those new, and the wine then sat four months on gross lees without stirring, the same decision made with every Grigio here and aimed at mineral tension instead of creaminess. Nothing was added and nothing filtered.

Concentrated and taut, with white peach, citrus pith, almond and a stony, dry finish. There is weight enough for food. Ten to eleven degrees. Serve with roast pork, crab linguine, or grilled chicken with lemon and oregano.
