2025 Quealy Musk Creek Late Harvest Pinot Gris Half Bottle (375ml)

The 2025 Quealy Musk Creek Late Harvest Pinot Gris is a luscious dessert wine from the Mornington Peninsula, crafted by Quealy Winemakers, pioneers of Pinot Gris in Australia. Sourced from the Musk Creek Vineyard, the grapes are left to ripen late on the vine, concentrating flavour and natural sweetness while retaining the vibrant acidity that is a hallmark of the region. Presented in a 375ml half bottle, this wine is an elegant expression of late-harvest Pinot Gris with impressive balance and finesse.

The nose reveals aromas of ripe pear, baked apple and apricot layered with honeysuckle, orange blossom and hints of ginger spice. The palate is rich and beautifully textured, with luscious stone fruit, poached pear and honeyed citrus flavours balanced by lively acidity. Smooth and vibrant, it finishes long with delicate notes of quince, spice and refreshing mineral lift.

Ben’s Recommendation:
A beautifully balanced late-harvest wine that offers richness without heaviness. Its vibrant acidity makes it a superb match for blue cheese, tarte Tatin, crème brûlée, poached pears, almond desserts and fruit tarts. Serve lightly chilled and enjoy now through 2035 as it develops additional honeyed complexity and texture.
