Lovely cherry fruit as the name indicates. Savoury with a sweep of stalk spice. It’s the texture here that separates it from many of the disjointed angular pinots on the market. Plush and caressing. The stalk carries through to the palate in a subtle way adding a nice amount of grip and spice. Tiny bit of lift. Lovely lingering fruit. A triumph.

“I started Dappled in 2009 with a view to make high quality, unadulterated wines from special patches of dirt at realistic prices. I make these wines first and foremost for my family and friends, so a hand-crafted, minimal intervention philosophy just makes perfect sense to me.”

Upper Yarra Valley, single vineyard wine from a cool site – all MV6 Clone from vines planted in 1997. Made in the same way with the same philosophy as the Appellation blend except with a little more new oak (15%). It showcases the best vineyard and terroir for the season, this wine is given more maturity time on lees in tank to express its site/terrior as much as possible. This wine is bottled by gravity, un-fined and unfiltered.
Hand-picked and sorted, cooled overnight and gently placed into 1 tonne fermenters as 100% whole bunches. The fruit is locked up for two weeks to start a natural carbonique ferment for 2 weeks with no working at all… after which time the fruit is pigéaged (foot stomped) once a week for a further 5 weeks. The must is then pressed straight to a very old puncheon with all lees – and not touched until May the following year. It’s then that the wine gets racked straight to its bottling tank and is bottled by hand via gravity. Unfined and unfiltered.
Dappled makes wine in Victoria with fruit coming from vineyards in the Yarra Valley.
