Quealy Turbul Moscato Giallo 2022

Quealy Turbul Moscato Giallo is a skin-fermented dry white made from a tiny parcel of Moscato Giallo at Balnarring.

Planted in 2014, the Moscato Giallo has long been the backbone of the estate's field blend and its zero-dosage sparkling, and in 2022 a small parcel was set aside for a varietal bottling for the first time. These thick-skinned grapes came in early April and were sorted painstakingly so only clean berries made the cut. Fermentation was with indigenous yeasts in a single seasoned puncheon with the headboard taken off, two weeks on skins, then pressing and maturation in barrel before bottling unfined and unfiltered in September 2023. Two hundred and eighty bottles were made, which tells you how experimental the exercise was.

Rich gold with an orange tinge, leaping out with lychee, rose water, Turkish delight and grapey lift. Full and plump, with talcy grip from resolved phenolics and a saline thread through the middle. Serve at 13 degrees with Moroccan spiced lamb or a ripe washed-rind cheese.
