Description

Just 17 rows of original MV6 Pinot Noir remain, gifting their old-vine fruit to Quealy's flagship Pinot Noir. The entire vineyard is located on a gentle north-facing slope, on shallow loams over clay.

The inaugural Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir vineyard, established 1982 on our winery property. We have persisted with the wide spacing, zero irrigation, and organic farming regime to contribute to this unique Pinot proposition.

Region: Mornington Peninsula
Blend: Pinot Noir (100%)
ABV: 12.90%
Closure: 750ml

94 Points - "The home vineyard planted 1982. What a thing. Seventeen rows, one would assume.Truffle scents on raspberry liquorice, cherry, dark chocolate and some smoky, paprika spice. Supple texture shifts a gear with a web of dark, chewy tannins, bright acidity keeps it perky and the wine drives long to a fine, amaro-like finish. Very charming, savoury focused pinot noir."- Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

95 Points - "Medium ruby-red colour, bright and clear throughout the glass. Red cherries, rosemary and sage aromatics. Medium-weighted, a fine acid line holds everything up with a brightness of cherry fruit and sweet herbal notes. Great length and a drive of powdery tannins accentuates the focus. There's a delicacy at the back that accentuates the extraordinarily long finish." - Stuart Knox (The Real Review)

95 Points - "The most structured of the Quealy pinot noirs. Full bodied, good concentration, with ripe, plush tannins and sweet, spicy fruit. Savoury notes shine through with hazelnut skins, black olives, an earthiness and iodine. It leaves an impression." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

    A standout for me.

    I love tightly structured Pinots with lovely smooth but juicy tannins. Plus a touch of spice

Quealy

Kathleen Quealy is part of the winemaking heart & soul of Mornington Peninsula.

The first person to plant Pinot Gris in Australia, Kathleen and her husband Kevin McCarthy launched T'Gallant winery in the 90s, pioneering this famous variety. But it was with Quealy Vineyards, based in Merricks North, with the winery and cellar door in the centre of the viticultural action, where they made their mark.

Kathleen has continued to innovate - along with PG, Quealy is renowned for super-interesting expressions of Muscat and Fruilano, experimenting with different degrees of skin contact and fermentation styles. Kathleen & Kevin's son Tom has now taken on the daily winemaking duties, with guidance from Mum and Dad and the wines have never looked better.

Kathleen is a true industry legend and one of the most visionary wine personalities on the Peninsula.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
