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.
