Description

Quealy owners Kathleen Quealy and Kevin McCarthy were pioneers of skin-contact white wines in this country. Son Tom has now taken the reigns amd is making a great fist of the style. The Turbul Friulano is one of the country's premier examples of skinsy winemaking with an Italian influence.

It's exotic and wild in flavour, but it's the texture and structure that defines this wine. In this way it shows more like a red - it's really quite powerful and grippy but delicious at the same time!

A great option for a dinner party wine to wow your friends with something different. Turbul is Friuli dialect for cloudy, to show off even more wine trivia.

"It’s savoury, complex and fabulous."
- 95 pts, Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

    My type of skinsy white

    Golden in colour. I’m not sure how long this spends on skins but I’d say a good amount of time. Good as in whatever they have done, it’s working. Lovely structure. Fun but serious. Fino sherry, yellow apple, some tropical fruit and a touch of honey and ginger. This is my type of skinsy white.

    I love this wine

    First tasted this wine at Bentley Bar a few years ago. It is incredible. Unique taste - very herbaceous and complements vegetable dishes beautifully. I have opened bottles of this wine when I want to surprise friends!

    Excellent AU fruilano to match Collio's best

    Hard to find but on the lists of some of Melbourne's best restaurants, this Mornington fruilano is a real delight. Excellent with food and better than many from the variety's home region, Quealy has done an excellent job to demonstrate that we can make lesser known varietals exceedingly well

Modern natural wine of extended fermentation on skins, then into barrel and amphora to mature. Sleek & creamy, succulent, the natural phenolic and acid roll in the mouth together with the smells and taste of almonds, honey, cardamom, parsley root, lemon rind.

LOOKS LIKE... Dark gold, slight pearl sheen, slow moving heavy liquid
SMELLS LIKE... Diaphanous aromas of angelica blossom, honey, parsley root and lemon rind
DRINK WITH... Raw fish, any creamy pasta from crema di asparagi to a carbonara
CELLAR UNTIL... Ages for 5 - 10 years
