Made from grapes at Yarra Valley’s Dixons Creek Vineyard by Rob Dolan, Adrian Santolin + the team.
The grapes were hand harvested, whole bunch pressed to oak with high solids juice to ferment. Aged in 20% new French oak for 10 months, 5% malolactic fermentation.
Rob Dolan is known for his skill in the winery, passion for helping others, and cheeky character.
He says the trick is sourcing the best fruit, and from there, using a ‘less is more’ approach in the winery to bring the wine it to its full expression.
The crisp, yet rounded flavours of citrus fruits helps cut through the richness of the sweetly smoked and unctuous beef.
Our winery and Cellar Door is located in Warrandyte South, just 30 minutes from Melbourne.
Our Wine Specialists will guide you through a table-side tasting as you look over the vineyard. Cheese and charcuterie boards are available with the best produce the Yarra Valley has to offer, including Stone and Crow Cheese, which is made on-site.
