Description

Wolf Blass Black Label Cab/Sauv/Shiraz 1999 showcases the timeless art of winemaking, capturing the essence of Australia’s unique blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Sourced predominantly from the renowned McLaren Vale and Barossa regions, with a subtle touch from Langhorne Creek, this 1999 vintage brings a wealth of character and depth.

With a meticulous blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 47% Shiraz, this wine is the product of careful selection and crafting. Each varietal is fermented and matured separately, allowing the winemakers to explore hundreds of potential components before finalizing the perfect blend. The culmination results in a wine boasting an alluring bouquet of dark fruits, rich chocolate, and vibrant blackcurrants. Its palate exudes a soft, rich character, beautifully complemented by hints of oak, ensuring great length and suppleness.

The aging process involves both French and American oak, imparting layers of complexity and structure that elevate the overall experience. Whether savored now or cellared for years to come, this wine promises to reward the discerning connoisseur with remarkable evolution over time. Black Label continues to set the standard for excellence, having claimed the prestigious Jimmy Watson Trophy four times since its inception in 1973.

The 1999 vintage marks the 27th consecutive release, embodying the philosophy of sourcing the finest grapes to create an extraordinary wine that speaks to the heart of Australia’s winemaking heritage. Recognized at leading Australian wine shows, this multiple gold medallist is a true expression of rich, ripe fruit, seamlessly integrated tannins, and oak. The Wolf Blass Black Label Cab/Sauv/Shiraz 1999 is not just a wine; it is an unmistakable Australian classic that deserves a place in every wine lover's collection.
