Rob Dolan ‘Black Label’ Blanc de Blanc NV (12 Bottles) Yarra Valley, VIC

Rob Dolan ‘Black Label’ Blanc de Blanc NV from Victoria’s Yarra and Yea Valleys pops with delicate Chardonnay‑sparkling charm, harvested early and crafted to stay light, fresh and mouth‑watering. Pale lemon in the glass, it throws up crisp green apple, lemon pith and the faint estery lift of honeysuckle, with a soft whisper of brioche and fresh‑bread from its 15‑month lees maturation. The palate is fresh and floral, showing yellow apple, citrus and gentle brioche, with a fine, creamy bead that keeps it elegant rather than aggressive.
