(Crown Seal) Previous Splendido releases were made in the pét-nat style, but from 2021 Quealy has changed the model. The team simply felt the traditional method would be more suited to the style and clarity they had in their mind’s eye, and judging from the quality, Tom McCarthy was bang on the money.
The 2023 is 100% Moscato Giallo from Quealy’s organic Balnarring vineyard, picked at 10.5 Baumé to preserve perfume and acidity. The grapes were gently pressed to a low yield, gifting filigree aromas and a nimble palate weight. The juice was settled, then racked to begin ferment. The wine was then tiraged and immediately bottled for secondary fermentation. Disgorgement was by hand and the wine was made without any sulphur or dosage. It is youthful, fresh, and bound to put a spring in your step.
