✨ Tekniske specifikationer

The Wolf Blass Gold Label Chardonnay is a testament to the winery's pursuit of regional excellence, specifically targeting the cool-climate vineyards of South Australia, with a strong focus on the Adelaide Hills. Introduced to highlight the unique terroir of premium sub-regions, this wine showcases how elevation and cool maritime breezes slow down the ripening process, allowing Chardonnay grapes to develop intense stone fruit and citrus characters while retaining a crisp, natural acidity. The winemaking process incorporates traditional techniques such as fermentation in French oak barriques and regular lees stirring (battonage), which weaves a rich, creamy texture and subtle toasted nutty complexity into the vibrant fruit profile. It represents a modern, elegant expression of Australian Chardonnay that balances fruit purity with sophisticated oak integration.

🍾 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.
