✨ Technical Specifications
The Red Label Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic expression of the traditional Australian blend, pioneered by Wolf Blass to deliver an approachable, fruit-driven style that is ready to drink upon release. Sourced from premium vineyards across South Eastern Australia, this wine represents Wolfgang Blass's original vision of creating highly accessible, soft, and rounded wines that do not require years of cellaring to enjoy. By blending the rich, plush plum and spice characters of Shiraz with the structured, dark berry notes of Cabernet Sauvignon, the winemakers achieve a harmonious balance. The wine is typically matured with a touch of oak to add subtle spice and complexity while keeping the vibrant fruit at the forefront, making it a staple of Australian everyday dining.
🍾 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.
