Yarra Valley winemaker Rob Dolan has unveiled his Signature Series range, a collection of wines that act as a window into the region’s most exceptional vineyards. Dolan described the new range and the ethos behind his label as a whole.
“Our aim has always been to craft wine that reflects the magic of the Yarra Valley,” he said. “The Signature Series range is a culmination of 35 years in the wine industry and is a result of utilising carefully selected vineyard sites and soils that have been lovingly tended to by our top grape growers and is made only in the finest vintages.”
The Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet that form the range are wine styles that Dolan personally enjoys, but he also chose them as they illustrate the essence of the Yarra’s winemaking community.
Renowned photographer James Newman was commissioned to capture products in the series. The images helped Dolan mark this career highlight and were featured at a launch event at the end of October.
Reflecting on the past nine years of his wine label, Dolan said: “Extreme drinkability has always been our goal. Our team of diversely skilled winemakers ensures we balance purity of fruit expression, sophisticated balance and depth of flavour. We learn from each other; and we learn from each season.”
“Like my parents before me, we are a proud, family run operation, with all three of my children: Tess, Ben and Max involved in some way or another. We are so pleased with how far we have come and it’s truly a highpoint to now share the Signature Series range,” he said.
The limited edition Rob Dolan Signature Series range is available now from Nelson Wine Co (VIC and QLD) and Winestock Fine Wines (NSW).
