Dappled started in 1999 “.. with a view to make high quality, unadulterated wines from special patches of dirt at realistic prices. These wines were first and foremost for my family and friends, so a hand-crafted, minimal intervention philosophy just made perfect sense to me – and still continues today.” Shaun Crinion.
Upper Yarra Single Vineyard wine from a cool upper Yarra Valley site – all MV6 Clone from vines planted in 1997. These wines showcase the best vineyard and terroir for the season.
Made in the same way with the same philosophy as the Appellation blend, with the exception of more maturity time on lees in tank to express its terroir as much as possible. Bottled by gravity, un-fined and unfiltered.
