The conjugate, gentle red wine cépage of Merlot and Cabernet, Red Label exhibits a fully integrated complexity, harmony of fruit and trademark smooth, warming tannins which have made this compatible blend such an enduring accord. The baronial Wolf Blass commands a wealth of vineyard resources to access the most highly prized fruit. An extremely easy to enjoy table red, lightly oaked, lead by the dominance of assertive Cabernet Sauvignon yet softened by the plush, plum fruit of the sweetly perfumed Merlot.
Crafted by one of Australia's most highly awarded winemaking teams, Red Label carries the same commitment to excellence that exists across the entire Wolf Blass family. Red Label is crafted to traditional winemaking methods through state of the art control techniques to ensure the consistency of quality with each vintage. Grapes are sourced from the finest sites, tended by growers who work closely with Wolf Blass. Harvested at the peak of ripeness to fully developed flavours and ripe tannins, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are crushed and fermented separately. Made to a style that promotes primary characters of fruit whilst adding palate complexity through judicious use of oak. Alcohol 13.5%
TASTING NOTES
Bright red in the glass with purple hues. Lifted berry fruits on the bouquet with hints of mint and chocolate over gentle oak. A palate of rich red fruit characters with underlying blackcurrant and plum supported by finely textured tannins. A medium bodied wine, soft and fleshy with a long finish. Serve with pork/ fennel sausages or herb crusted steak.

About the Wolf Blass Winery
The Wolf Blass winery is located at the epicentre of the Australian wine industry, the Barossa Valley and has produced some of Australia's finest wines since 1966
Wolf Blass Wines International was born in 1973 when Wolf started his own business, purchasing a 2.5 acre land holding with an old army shed outside Nuriootpa, at the northern end of the Barossa Valley. John Glaetzer joined the company and from 1974-1976 Wolf Blass Wines won three consecutive Jimmy Watson Trophies, the Black Label generated substantial publicity and hype. From this time onwards growth was impressive with Wolf Blass Yellow Label and Riesling becoming Australia's top selling red and white wine. Wolf Blass»
