2020 Wolf Blass Grey Label Langhorne Creek Cabernet Shiraz

Grey Label Cabernet Shiraz was sourced from a region as unique as the wine itself. The
vineyards of Langhorne Creek lie on deep, rich, alluvial soils along the banks of the
Bremer River. Flooding of the river provides natural irrigation while at the same time
depositing silts and sediments that contribute to the unique soil qualities, impacting the
resultant wine’s character and personality.
Separate vineyard batches were fermented in small open-top fermenters for 5 to 10
days. Plunging and gentle irrigation were used to work the cap and optimise flavour,
colour and tannin extraction, providing for concentration and depth of fruit, while
keeping tannins plush, hallmarks of the Grey Label style. Selected batches completed
fermentation in barrel, contributing mid-palate texture, while others finished
fermentation on skins, providing structural length and focus

Will develop with age, softening and mellowing to reward
a decade or more of careful cellaring.
