"Selma and Jonathan Lowther planted their first grape vines in 1981. The vineyard was planted on a family property that was purchased in the mid 60's. The property once apple growing and cattle grazing was now broadened to include a vineyard. In the early 80's a lone vineyard in the area, now it is surrounded by large plantings. Over the next decade their vineyard was expanded with new grape varieties and winery built onsite. The original varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz and Chardonnay with the addition of Pinot Noir, Gamay and Gargarnega complete the vineyard. The vineyard is one of the older plantings on the Peninsula, with new trellising and viticulture techniques to produce wines that express their site. The vineyard has a north/east aspect at 120 metres altitude with views to Westernport Bay giving it cooling Southerly winds. A Cellar Door that is a hidden gem offering warm hospitality." – Elan Vineyard & Gallery

“Best described as experimental, innovative and caring winemakers, they’re viticulturalists first. Kathleen Quealy and Kevin McCarthy made their mark as icons of the Mornington Peninsula in the 1990s, with the first plantings of Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris leading to a flurry of interest that has not abated. The winemaking and viticultural practices of Quealy express tradition and innovation harmoniously to elaborate exhilarating styles. The Quealy Winemakers Cellar Door is at the heart of the certified organic Balnarring vineyard, with immersive vibes into the winemaking process to satisfy curiosities, and conversations with knowledgeable, convivial hosts to inspire. Amidst terra cotta amphora and oak barrels, taste and traverse wine from (perhaps) the oldest single vineyard Pinot Noir planting on the Peninsula, individual vineyard expressions of Pinot Gris, elegant Pinot Grigio and esoteric, trailblazing skin contact wines such as little-grown Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, Moscato Giallo, Malvasia, and Riesling. Cheese plates accompanied by delightful edibles from our gardens can be booked online to follow your tasting.” – Quealy Winemakers
