Santolin Wines

Adrian Santolin grew up in Griffith, NSW, and has worked in the wine industry since he was 15. He moved to the Yarra Valley in 07 with wife Rebecca, who has worked in marketing roles at various wineries. Adrians love of Pinot Noir led him to work at wineries such as Wedgetail Estate, Rochford, De Bortoli, Sticks and Rob Dolan Wines. In 12 his dream came true when he was able to buy 2 tonnes of pinot noir from the Syme-on-Yarra Vineyard, increasing production in 13 to 4 tonnes, split between chardonnay and pinot noir, the chardonnay sourced from Yarraland Vineyard at Chirnside Park.
