✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Grey Label tier from Wolf Blass, first introduced in 1975, represents a landmark in the winery's history, focusing on showcasing the unique terroir of specific South Australian regions. The Grey Label Shiraz is traditionally sourced from the premium, warm-climate vineyards of McLaren Vale, where the proximity to the Gulf St Vincent tempers the heat, allowing the grapes to develop intense, concentrated flavors while retaining balanced acidity. This wine is celebrated for its plush, full-bodied profile, characterized by rich dark plum, blackberry, and dark chocolate notes, seamlessly integrated with spicy oak nuances from maturation in a combination of French and American oak barrels. It stands as a testament to Wolf Blass's mastery of blending and oak maturation, offering a sophisticated expression of McLaren Vale's distinctive maritime-influenced terroir.
🍾 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.
