Wolf Blass Platinum Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Wolf Blass Platinum Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2000 embodies the essence of one of Australia's premier wine regions, the Clare Valley in South Australia. This exquisite vintage showcases the results of meticulous vineyard selection, with yields reduced to less than two tonnes per acre, enhancing the concentration and quality of the grapes. Crafted from a single vineyard, this exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon undergoes a traditional fermentation process in concrete open fermenters, allowing the juice to stay in contact with the skins for up to 14 days. This technique ensures maximum extraction of color and fruit character, resulting in velvety, well-integrated tannins.

After gentle pressing, the wine is matured in new French oak barrels for 22 months, allowing it to develop layers of complexity and depth. The 2000 vintage unveils enticing varietal notes of blackcurrant, complemented by a subtle hint of mint, creating a full-bodied palate that captivates the senses. The extraordinary depth and intricate flavor profile make it an outstanding choice for both immediate enjoyment and long-term cellaring, with the potential to evolve beautifully over a decade.

The Wolf Blass Platinum Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2000 has garnered recognition, earning three prestigious gold medals: at the 2002 Brisbane Wine Show, the 2002 National Wine Show in Canberra, and the 2002 Hobart Wine Show. This esteemed recognition further solidifies its status as a remarkable wine from an exceptional vintage.

Packaged in a 750ml bottle, this Cabernet Sauvignon not only reflects the artistry and dedication of its makers but also serves as a testament to the Clare Valley's unique terroir. An ideal choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike, it promises a truly memorable tasting experience.
