Quealy Pinot Grigio 2010

It never ceases to amaze me how many winery names I pass en route that I do not recognise, even in quite well trodden wine regions.  Hopefully someone is drinking and talking about those wines.  Quealy is such a label.  I tried it at the rather cool Merricks General Store, the sort of place that personifies summer.  

The wine?  On the nose, an attractive medium intensity aroma of pears and flowers.  The palate had a bitter almond and kernel character, framed only very loosely by its lowish acidity.  There was no particular length on the palate, yet the wine was eminently drinkable and satisfying with the local rendition of moules frites.  84 points
