Made by Rob Dolan, Adrian Santolin + the team.
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.
Our Black Label Savagnin displays zesty fruit character that lifts the delicate ravioli mixture of chicken and sage. The subtle nutty development in the wine is complemented by the hazelnut infused burnt butter sauce.
