Wolf Blass Wines, established in the Barossa Valley in 1966, has grown from a humble tin shed to become one of the world's most successful and awarded wineries. Wolf Blass Wines has won Australia's most coveted trophy, the Jimmy Watson, an unprecedented four times. There is a tradition of quality, character and consistency from the refined and elite Platinum Label and the majestic and complex Black Label through to delicate Rieslings and crisp Chardonnays. Today, Wolf Blass wines are exported to more than 50 countries and are recognised internationally as icons of modern winemaking. The 2006 Wolf Blass Yellow Label Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich, deep wine. The nose shows fresh, varietal, leafy characters with subtle and integrated oak flavours. There are aromas of plums and berries. This is a medium to full bodied wine that offers a sweet, middle palate, finishing with fine, smooth, chalky Cabernet tannins.

Wine maker notes

The fruit was crushed and fermented for a period of7 days on the skins. Various cap management techniques extracted the maximum colour and flavour from the skins. After pressing portions of the wine were matured with seasoned oak and others in stainless steel to create a perfect balance between varietal fruit and complex secondary characters
