QUEALY
Quealy Wines is a boutique winery located on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia, one of the country’s leading cool-climate wine regions. Founded by Kathleen Quealy and Kevin McCarthy, the winery is recognized for pioneering alternative grape varieties and producing wines with strong regional character.
Mornington Peninsula benefits from a cool maritime climate influenced by surrounding oceans, allowing grapes to ripen slowly while retaining natural acidity and aromatic complexity. These conditions are ideal for elegant and balanced wines with freshness and finesse.
Quealy Wines is particularly known for Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir, producing wines that are textural, expressive, and food-friendly. The winery has also been influential in introducing Italian grape varieties such as Friulano and Moscato Giallo to Australia. The wines often display bright fruit, spice, floral notes, and a natural sense of balance.
As a respected producer in Mornington Peninsula, Quealy Wines represents a progressive and terroir-driven approach to Australian cool-climate winemaking.
