✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Eaglehawk range by Wolf Blass is intimately tied to the heritage of the estate, named after the majestic bird of prey. When German immigrant Wolfgang Blass established his winery in 1966, he named the property 'Bilyara,' an Indigenous Australian word meaning 'Eaglehawk,' making the bird a permanent symbol of the brand's identity. Sourced from vineyards across South Eastern Australia, this Merlot is crafted to showcase the grape's naturally soft, fleshy, and approachable character. Gentle fermentation and careful oak maturation result in a smooth, medium-bodied red wine with rich fruit flavors and a velvety finish, embodying the classic, easy-drinking Australian style.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Wolf Blass blev grundlagt i 1966 af den tyskfødte vinmager Wolfgang Blass. Huset startede i et ydmygt blikskur i Sydaustraliens berømte Barossa Valley, men voksede hurtigt til et af landets mest hæderkronede og ikoniske vinhuse. Vingården opbyggede sit internationale ry på banebrydende teknikker inden for blending på tværs af regioner, hvor målet altid har været frugtdrevne, strukturerede vine med smidige tanniner og velafstemt fadlagring. Wolf Blass har vundet den prestigefyldte Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy hele fire gange – en hidtil uset bedrift – og er i dag kendt for sin roste, farvekodede portefølje. Denne toppes af flagskibet Black Label Cabernet Shiraz flankeret af enkeltmarksvinen Platinum Label samt de velkendte Gold Label- og Yellow Label-aftapninger.
