Wolf Blass Black Label

CABERNET SAUVIGNON SHIRAZ

ABV 15%

BLACK LABEL IS THE FLAGSHIP RED BLEND OF THE WOLF BLASS RANGE. SINCE ITS FIRST VINTAGE IN 1973, BLACK LABEL HAS WON THE JIMMY WATSON TROPHY AN UNPRECEDENTED FOUR TIMES.

The Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from low yielding Barossa Valley vineyards, contributing concentrated fruit, structure and length. The Shiraz was sourced from Langhorne Creek and McLaren Vale. The Langhorne Creek parcel provides elegance and finesse, while the McLaren Vale component brings opulence of fruit, richness and depth.

Following crushing and de-stemming, each vineyard parcel was fermented separately for seven days on skins, allowing the optimum release of colour and
flavour without excessive tannin extraction. The wine completed fermentation in new French and American oak barriques.
 
After racking, the wine was returned to their original barrels for 24 months maturation, before the winemaking team carefully assessed each parcel before
final blending and bottling.

MATURATION

American oak barriques for 24 months.

WINEMAKER COMMENTS

NOSE

with underlying notes of coffee, dark chocolate and hints of mint and eucalypt.

PALATE

plums, integrated with smoky oak. The wine shows exceptional complexity and balance, full, rich and opulent yet fine and elegant, with persistence of flavour and supple, velvety tannins.
