✨ Technical Specifications
Wolf Blass Yellow Label Shiraz is a cornerstone of Australian wine history, first released in 1966 by the charismatic German immigrant Wolfgang Blass. Sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, this wine represents the signature Wolf Blass philosophy of blending across regions to achieve a consistent, high-quality style. Known for its vibrant fruit profile, plush texture, and smooth oak integration, the Yellow Label Shiraz helped redefine Australian red wine on the global stage, making it approachable and immediately enjoyable without sacrificing character. The wine undergoes careful fermentation and maturation in seasoned French and American oak to enhance its spicy plum and dark berry notes while maintaining its soft, velvety tannins.
🍾 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.
