Wolf Blass – Black Label Red 750ml

In its 44th vintage, Wolf Blass Black Label Cabernet Shiraz Malbec has been artfully blended to create a sophisticated red wine. Built on complex, multi-layered flavour and magnificent structure, Black Label is a powerful expression of the Wolf Blass philosophy of synergistic blending. Harvested at optimum maturity and flavour, fruit from each vineyard was crushed, destemmed and fermented separately for seven to twelve days on skins. The ferments were allowed to warm naturally, with plunging and gentle pumping over used to maximise colour and flavour extraction. Mid-ferment cooling extended fermentation, exploiting time on skins and accentuating line and length. Some batches stayed on skins to dryness, while others completed fermentation in barrel, allowing a balanced integration of oak characters and enhancing texture and complexity
