Fine and delicate Shaun has the level of whole bunch sitting in balance with vital fresh red curry fruit. As with previous editions a sweep of stalk spice and savoury pops wrap the fruit. Long and even, the texture is fine with the stalk carrying through to the palate in a subtle way adding. Tiny bit of lift. Lovely lingering fruit. A triumph.

“2020 vintage is pretty much the polar opposite to the 2019 vintage, the one thing I can say about my wines is they are always true to the vintage. I’m not one to manipulate my wines to encourage to be a certain way and Stylistically the wines show the Dappled charters for those who follow the wines.. I’d like to say the true meaning of Dappled shines through this vintage that being light and shade; 2020 was cool and the wines show tension and delicacy, if you are looking for blockbusters then these are not for you.. If you are looking for a true sense of the vintage then these I feel are as true wines as I have ever made.. be patient with them and they will reward.”
“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.”

Coming from the duplex soils (red volcanic and mud stone loams) of Macclesfield this was the ideal site for the season. Dijon clone 76’ reacted well to the cooler weather on this site and resulted in a detailed and generous fruit.
The resultant wine was fermented naturally with no settling in all one year old French Oak (Puncheons and Barriques) the wine also was allowed to complete approx 30% MLF to allow some softening of acidity.
Dappled makes wine in Victoria with fruit coming from vineyards in the Yarra Valley.
