The Moscato Giallo takes the mic from the Malvasia and again turns up the volume a bit more. While it didn’t receive as much skin contact as its siblings, the relatively short time has resulted in some delightful characters: white flowers, apricot, chalk, cheese, yoghurt, nuts, honey, and my favourite, the terpene linalool (the Quealy wine of the same name is incredible), which gives the wine a spicy fruit character. Because of this, the nose is invigorating, while the palate is salty and chalky, the flavours persisting for a long time. If you haven’t tried Moscato Giallo before, the Turbul is a fantastic foray into what is a super-interesting grape, and it’s a testament to Quealy’s pursuit of high-quality wines made from excellent source material.
