Dappled 'Appellation' Pinot Noir 2024

Shaun Crinion’s wine continue to dazzle, and we continue to shake our heads in disbelief considering the quality of wine you get at these prices. They wouldn’t look out of place with $90 price tickets on them. We’re excited to have these in stock until they disappear again for another year.

Pale Ruby red colour in the glass with scents of raspberries, cranberry, earth and wood smoke. There’s a gentle whole bunch element coming into play - more like a herb garden than a vegetal character. The palate is delicate and plush with cherry cola and beetroot flavours, and the tannins are very fine. The wine finishes with fresh delicate acidity. Drinking fantastic now, but will be even better in 2-5 years.  

 A blend of three Upper Yarra Pinot sites in Macclesfield, Gladysdale and Steels Creek. All natural ferments with 25% whole bunch plus an average of 15-20 days on skins. Aged for 10 months in French oak Barrique’s and Puncheons (10% new). Bottled by gravity, un-fined and unfiltered. Dappled Wines
