2022 Quealy Turbul Malvasia

95 POINTS

Jane Faulkner - Halliday's Wine Companion

Fruit is destemmed, macerated on skins for about six months before spending 18 months in used barrel. It’s a mid-straw gold, and bright. Heady aromas, as malvasia is so aromatic, with honeysuckle and orange blossom plus more exotic tropical notes of pineapple and jackfruit. Tinned apricot nectar and sandalwood but it’s far from sweet – yes, an amber wine. This is super savoury, nutty with some almond paste and ginger fluff cake, with chewy phenolics neatly handled. I love it – superbly balanced, fresh and complex all at once. 60 dozen produced.
