About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazBarossa Valley, AustraliaMore than 15 years ago the winemakers at Wolf Blass decided it was time to craft a premium wine that showcased the modern nature of Wolf Blass that also paid homage to the man himself and his pioneering craftsmanship. The result was a single varietal Shiraz that was 100% aged in French Oak, unlike their famous flagship the Black Label which is a blend and aged in American Oak. A wonderful contemporary version of Wolf Blass that is a cavalcade of rich blueberry, blackberry and complex elements of dark chocolate and warm spice. Superbly long on the palate with an obvious hint to a long future in the cellar.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

...from the first whiff to the finish and aftertaste, the wine has remarkable cohesion, line and balance… supple and velvety, the finish with a dry, savoury twist, just what was needed.
