The 2024 Dappled ‘Appellation’ Chardonnay is another brilliant release from winemaker Shaun Crinion of Dappled Wines—a producer now firmly established as one of Australia’s masters of cool-climate Chardonnay. Sourced from select vineyards across the Yarra Valley, this cuvée delivers incredible purity, tension and value.

The 2024 vintage is bright and finely cut: white peach, citrus blossom and lemon curd wrapped in subtle struck-match complexity and gentle nougat. The palate is beautifully poised—textural yet ultra-fresh—with crystalline acidity, refined oak handling and a long, mineral finish that keeps you reaching for the next glass.
