Details

The Seventeen Rows Pinot Noir is sourced from fruit grown on the home/winery vineyard established in 1982 by Joan & Stan Paul. The 3.5 metre vine width unusually wide to accommodate their orchard tractor. It’s a definitive width because of the extra sunshine on the vine and access of soil volume to fruit ratio. These wines all taste profoundly concentrated. Organic management of pests and disease is that little bit easier/ possible. Its where and how we started our organic viticulture journey.

Our winery vineyard is located on a gentle north-facing slope. Soils are shallow loams over sticky clay. We focus on organic matter incorporation to assist soil capacity to retain water and generate nutrition for vines.
QUEA!Y (edited by PWS)

The most structured offering in the Quealy stable – the tannins are textural with seemingly more fruit weight. It still has the vivacity of the ’21 vintage, yet incorporates hints of sweet and tart rhubarb, dark cherries, mocha and dried herbs plus cedar oak flavour. The palate doesn’t quite flesh out, even if it is medium bodied, as the acidity is keeping everything reined in, bar the slightly bitter, charred radicchio character on the finish, which adds to the mouthfeel and pleasure of drinking.

Strong release. Both woodsy spice and oak notes aplenty but with the fruit to support it. Back cherries, strawberries, toast and coffee grounds, with cedar and dried herb notes over the top. Both inherently complex and inherently bold, even at 12.6% alc. Savoury to the point of bitter, but not. Firm-ish. It’s not for drinking now; it’s built to be matured. (93+) CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front

Complex foresty, earthy, leaf-litter aromas and flavours. Peppery and Campari-like wholebunch touches. There’s an individualism and singular character in this wine. Very enjoyable."
