✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Wolf Blass Yellow Label Cabernet Sauvignon is a cornerstone of Australian winemaking history, first introduced in 1966 by the charismatic German immigrant Wolfgang Blass. Seeking to revolutionize the Australian wine landscape, Blass championed a style of wine that was approachable, soft, and ready to drink upon release, contrasting the highly tannic reds of the era. Sourced from selected vineyards across South Australia's premier regions, including Langhorne Creek and McLaren Vale, this wine benefits from warm, sunny days and cooling maritime breezes that foster optimal ripening. It is traditionally fermented in stainless steel before undergoing maturation with a combination of French and American oak, resulting in a smooth, fruit-forward profile with subtle oak complexity and a touch of spice.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Wolf Blass was established in 1966 by German-born oenologist Wolfgang Blass, who began vinifying small parcels of fruit in South Australia before purchasing the Bilyara property outside Nuriootpa in the Barossa Valley. Blass pioneered a transformative paradigm in Australian wine, prioritizing accessibility, multi-regional blending, and meticulous oak management over austere single-vineyard orthodoxy. Sourcing across disparate South Australian terroirs—spanning the warm red loam and ironstone of the Barossa Valley to the maritime plains of Langhorne Creek and the high-elevation, cooler, slate-strewn hillsides of Eden Valley and Clare Valley—the winery crafts highly polished, structured wines with supple fruit concentration. Viticulture adheres to modern sustainable guidelines accredited through Sustainable Winegrowing Australia under corporate parent Treasury Wine Estates. Wolf Blass made history by securing the prestigious Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy four times, anchored by its benchmark Black Label Cabernet-Shiraz, supplemented by the iconic Yellow Label, regional Gold Label, and single-vineyard Sapphire Label releases.
