✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Red Label Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot from Wolf Blass is a classic expression of the winery's historic blending philosophy, designed to be smooth, approachable, and highly drinkable from release. Sourced from vineyards across South Eastern Australia, this wine marries the structural integrity, dark fruit, and leafy notes of Cabernet Sauvignon with the fleshy, plum-like softness of Merlot. Wolfgang Blass famously revolutionized the Australian wine scene in the 1960s and 70s by championing wines that did not require decades of cellaring to be enjoyable. This approachable red blend carries on that legacy, utilizing gentle oak maturation to deliver a soft, rounded palate with rich fruit flavors and a smooth finish, making it a staple of everyday Australian wine culture.
🍾 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.
