2020 Quealy Secco Splendido Metodo Ancestrale

Quealy’s frothy, aromatic pét-nat uses Moscato Bianco grown by Joe Vaughan at his Merricks North 100 Hunts Vineyard. Harvested at full ripeness, the must was allowed to naturally hyper-oxidise when pressed, a process Quealy believes brings more aromatic complexity to Moscato. Before primary fermentation was complete, the wine was put to bottle with 25 g/L residual, to finish its fermentation naturally without any yeast, sugar or sulphur addition. The wine is riddled and disgorged at the winery, month by month. This is a delicious and complex wine that opens fresh and clean with highly aromatic notes of white flowers and wisteria. The palate is racy and powdery with a heady, Muscat-typical mix of rosewater, orange and peach blossom characters as well as a hint of nutty, amoretti biscuit on the finish. Excellent!
