✨ Tekniske specifikationer
First released in the late 1970s, the President's Selection from Wolf Blass was conceived as a range of wines of outstanding quality, selected from the finest parcels of the vintage. Wolfgang Blass, the charismatic founder, sought to craft a Cabernet Sauvignon that defied the tough, astringent style of the era, opting instead for a wine defined by plush fruit, seamless oak integration, and immediate drinkability coupled with aging potential. Sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia—most notably Langhorne Creek and McLaren Vale—this Cabernet Sauvignon is celebrated for its rich, dark fruit profile, subtle minty notes, and structured yet velvety tannins, matured in a combination of French and American oak hogsheads.
🍾 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.
