September Residency: Quealy Winemaker

Four weeks. Five decades of Peninsula winemaking. Right here in Dromana.

Weekly tasting flights, wines by the glass, Sunday bottle discounts and an intimate Dinner with the Winemaker on Sunday 4th October. This is Peninsula wine at its most personal.

Meet Quealy

Some wineries make great wine. Others change the conversation entirely. Kathleen Quealy and Kevin McCarthy were among the first to put the Mornington Peninsula on the map, pioneering Pinot Gris and Grigio when no one else was paying attention. Their Balnarring block has been growing since 1982. Today, son Tom McCarthy leads the winemaking across five heritage single vineyard sites, all farmed organically.
