Dappled Appellation Chardonnay 2025
A blend of upper and lower Yarra Vineyards - Clones P58, I10V1 and Dijon clones 76 and 95 - from vineyards in St Andrews, Steels Creek and Seville. All fruit is hand-picked and cooled overnight, followed by whole bunches being lightly crushed by foot before a long pressing when the un-sulphured juice is transferred straight to oak. The oak is a combination of 80% old and 20% new French Barriques, Puncheons and Demi-Muids. Ferments are allowed to start naturally (wild) and complete with no temperature control. The wine is not battonaged and left on lees for 10 months where some MLF may have occurred, but not encouraged, and SO2 is added when the wine is ready for it. The wine is lightly filtered before being bottled un-fined
'Dappled does it again.
This wine is both seriously impressive and seriously delicious. It tastes of grapefruit, pear, citrus, peach and whispers of both cedar and flint. But it’s the wine as a whole, and its cohesion, and its general juiciness that is the main take, and the main attraction. Every sip of this wine makes you want another. There’s a chalky-steeliness to the finish and plenty of fruit there too. In summary, it’s bang on.'
