✨ Technical Specifications
The Eaglehawk range by Wolf Blass is named after the majestic bird of prey that has long been the symbol of this historic Australian winery, representing founder Wolfgang Blass's vision of flight, freedom, and quality. Sourced from selected vineyards across South Eastern Australia, this Shiraz is crafted to showcase the vibrant, fruit-forward style that made Australian wine famous globally. By blending fruit from diverse microclimates, the winemakers achieve a consistent, approachable profile year after year. The wine is typically matured with a touch of oak to complement its natural rich plum and spice characters, offering a smooth, velvety texture that pays homage to the classic Wolf Blass philosophy of soft, highly drinkable reds.

Celebrated for an unprecedented four Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy wins, Wolf Blass produces an acclaimed color-coded portfolio highlighted by the flagship Black Label Cabernet Shiraz, alongside the single-vineyard Platinum Label and signature Gold and Yellow Label expressions.
