Ex-Aussie Rules Pro, Rob Dolan, is nicknamed ‘Sticks’ on account of his 6ft 6in frame. Since hanging up his boots, Rob has honed his winemaking talent at some of Australia’s very best wineries including Yarra Yering, prior to starting his own Sticks Winery in 2001.
The cool climate Yarra Valley (cooler than Bordeaux but warmer than Burgundy) encourages the production of premium-quality wine. Though his sporting days are over, Rob’s trophy cupboard is fuller than ever, with his wines winning international awards and much critical acclaim. He is now considered one of Australia’s top Pinot Noir experts.
