✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Platinum Label represents the absolute pinnacle of Wolf Blass's single-vineyard winemaking, sourced exclusively from the historic Medlands Vineyard in the heart of the Barossa Valley's floor. Established on soils that yield exceptionally concentrated and balanced fruit, this iconic Shiraz showcases the ultimate expression of terroir combined with meticulous craftsmanship. The wine is celebrated for its rich, plush texture, intense dark fruit profile, and seamless integration of premium French oak, representing a sophisticated departure from the traditional multi-regional blends that Wolf Blass pioneered. It stands as a testament to Wolfgang Blass's pursuit of excellence, capturing the unique microclimate and ancient soils of one of the Barossa's most prized vineyard sites.
🍾 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.
