Description

Ribolla Gialla might be a rarity in Australia, but it’s a grape that’s always made sense to the Quealy team. After years spent in Friuli learning from the source, they planted the first vines in Balnarring back in 2018, and this 2022 release shows exactly why they bothered – it just works here.

The fruit was picked in early April, destemmed and fermented on skins in steel for around five months, then basket-pressed and aged in old oak for a couple of years before bottling – no fining, no filtration, no rush. The result is a proper, old-school skin-contact white, built on patience and texture rather than polish.

It’s full of citrus peel, quince and spice, with a little nuttiness and grip through the finish. There’s freshness too, so it never feels heavy – just deep, savoury and seriously drinkable. If you want to know what Ribolla can do outside Friuli, this is the one to try.

Ribolla Gialla is a most revered variety of the natural wine makers found in Italy's north-east.

Quealy established their Ribolla Giallo plot in 2018. Its a variety that suits a cool maritime climate such as ours.

Ribolla Giallo bunches are moderate in size, say 100 to 120 grams. Even so we only allow one bunch per shoot to ripen. After bunch closure in December, we remove excess bunches. It's a variety that in many ways has a similar personality and for us deem as aristocratic as Riesling. The variety is not as aromatic as Riesling but is indeed deeply perfumed. Acidity is high and although picked late, it keeps moderate sugar levels.
