✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Wolf Blass White Label Riesling is an elegant expression of South Australia's premier cool-climate regions, most notably the Eden Valley. While Wolf Blass is globally famous for its bold, oak-matured red blends, the White Label tier focuses on regional purity and varietal definition. First crafted to showcase the pristine, mineral-driven style of Riesling that thrives in the high-altitude, rocky soils of the Barossa hills, this wine is fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve its delicate aromatics. The story of Riesling in South Australia is deeply tied to Silesian settlers who brought the grape in the 19th century, and Wolf Blass honors this heritage by crafting a dry, laser-focused style defined by vibrant citrus, floral notes, and a flinty, slate-like minerality.
🍾 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.
