Quealy wines are an adventurous exploration of the most premium, delicious wines on the Mornington Peninsula. They are new styles of wine, employing winemaking and viticulture techniques developed by Kathleen Quealy after her many years of successful winemaking.
Balnarring Vineyard was purchased by the Quealy-McCarthy family in 2004. The vineyard has some of the oldest premium pinot noir on the Mornington Peninsula, and the vines are exclusively used for Quealy Seventeen Rows Pinot Noir. The vineyard also grows the POBBLEBONK blend; Pinot Grigio, Friulano, Chardonnay, Riesling & Muscat Giallo.
Quealys second label is Balnarring Vineyard. The wines offer great value, modern in style and still quirky. Their distribution is limited to the Cellar Door, local venues and some restaurants in Melbourne.

This innovative and unusual blend for Australia is in a league all of its own. Rich, ripe and beautifully structured the Rageous was carefully matured for 24 months in French oak. Complex and savoury yet with a sweet fruit mid palate and a vibrant fresh finish, this wine is sure to evolve for man...
Pale straw in colour, the aroma is full of enticing characters of wildflower and pear. The palate is fine and delicate with an added nutty textural dimension and notes of herbs and citrus. The beautifully balanced acidity heightens the flavours and gives it a long clean finish.
