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 different regional fruit attributes complemented each other to produce a wine of great complexity.

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.
