✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
