Wolf Blass GREY LABEL Shiraz South Australia
Description: The Grey Label Barossa/Clare/McLaren Vale Shiraz is rich deep crimson in the glass. Aromas of rich berry are given complexity by hints of pepper, spice and dark chocolate. The palate displays well-integrated fruit with soft tannins, a subtle touch of oak and a long, seamless finish. VITICULTURE The fruit for this wine was sourced from premium Shiraz vineyards in South Australia. Constant contact with Barossa, Clare Valley and McLaren Vale growers ensured that the fruit was carefully maintained to produce rich fruit bursting with flavour and varietal character. The range of vineyards and regions provided our winemaking team with many blending options. The Clare Valley fruit was rich and elegant with a tight minerally fragrance, the Barossa fruit added depth and richness to the palate and the McLaren Vale fruit was bursting with ripe, rich berry characters. The different regional fruit attributes complemented each other to produce a wine of great complexity. WINEMAKING Following crushing the wine was left to ferment on the skins for between five to seven days, allowing for the optimum release of colour and flavour. This technique maximised the intensity of fruit flavour without extracting excessive tannins to ensure that this wine is approachable in its youth, a hallmark of Wolf Blass wines. Individual parcels completed fermentation in new American and French oak. After racking the wine was returned to the original American and French oak barrels for 18 months maturation. After maturation our winemaking team carefully assessed each parcel before blending and bottling. CELLARING This wine displays rich fruit flavours in its youth and has been carefully blended to ensure soft tannins and drinkability. It will develop more aged characters over the next 10 years if carefully cellared. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £130.88
