Dappled, 'Sur la Crete' Pinot Noir 2023

Place: Yarra Valley, Australia

Grape: Mornington Peninsula

Vibe: Sultry

'Sur la Crete' refers to the hillcrest vineyard this site is perched on in Mornington Peninsula, a departure from Dappled's usual Yarra Valley bottlings, and a triumphant one at that. The style here is richer and more powerful than the other Dappled reds, delivering purity of fruit as well as real depth and complexity. The aromas are classic Mornington vibes - Morello cherry, plum, beetroot and earthy forest floor. Classy stuff. ABV: 13%
