✨ Technical Specifications
The Platinum Label represents the absolute pinnacle of winemaking at Wolf Blass, a house built on the vision of German immigrant Wolfgang Blass who revolutionized Australian wine in the 1960s. While the Platinum tier is most famously associated with their monumental Shiraz, any Cabernet Sauvignon elevated to this flagship status represents an extraordinary selection of the finest, most characterful parcels of fruit from South Australia's premier terroirs, such as the terra rossa soils of Coonawarra or the historic soils of the Barossa. Crafted only in exceptional vintages, this wine undergoes meticulous small-batch fermentation followed by extensive maturation in premium, tight-grained French oak barriques. The result is a majestic expression of South Australian Cabernet: intensely concentrated, structurally flawless, and displaying a seamless harmony of plush dark fruit, refined oak, and velvety tannins.
🍾 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.
