✨ Technical Specifications
Wolf Blass Gold Label Riesling is a benchmark expression of South Australian Riesling, primarily sourced from the cool-climate, high-altitude vineyards of the Eden Valley. Wolfgang Blass's vision of showcasing regional excellence is beautifully realized in this elegant white wine. The Eden Valley's rocky, mineral-rich soils and significant diurnal temperature shifts allow the Riesling grapes to ripen slowly, retaining their signature piercing natural acidity and intense aromatic profile. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its pristine fruit purity, this wine avoids oak contact to highlight the grape's natural character. It captures the essence of the region with its classic lime juice, white floral, and slate-like mineral characteristics, which evolve gracefully into complex notes of toast and honey with age.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1966 by German-born winemaker Wolfgang Blass, Wolf Blass began in a humble tin shed in South Australia's famed Barossa Valley and quickly grew into one of the nation's most celebrated and iconic wine estates. The winery established its global reputation through pioneering cross-regional blending techniques, consistently crafting fruit-forward, structured wines defined by supple tannins and careful oak maturation. 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.
