✨ Technical Specifications

The Grey Label range holds a legendary status within the Wolf Blass portfolio, representing the very first color-coded label introduced by Wolfgang Blass in 1967. This Cabernet Sauvignon is deeply rooted in the historic Langhorne Creek region of South Australia, an area blessed with rich alluvial soils and the cooling 'Lake Doctor' breeze blowing from Lake Alexandrina. This unique microclimate allows the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, preserving bright acidity while developing intense, plush dark fruit flavors, subtle mint, and eucalyptus notes. Matured in a combination of French and American oak, the wine exemplifies the classic Wolf Blass style of seamless structural integration, velvety tannins, and immediate appeal combined with excellent cellaring potential.

🍾 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.
