Wolf Blass Platinum Label Shiraz 2001

Wolf Blass Platinum Label Shiraz 2001 embodies the pinnacle of winemaking craftsmanship, representing a celebrated blend of artistry and nature’s finest offerings. This exceptional wine hails from the cool climate of Adelaide Hills in South Australia, a region known for producing well-structured and expressive Shiraz. The dry and warm conditions of 2001 allowed for the optimal ripening of grapes, resulting in an enchanting wine that offers depth and complexity.

Sourced from a single vineyard in Oakbank, this vibrant Shiraz is characterized by its intense and rich flavor profile. With aromatic layers of black pepper, spice, blackberry, and dark chocolate, the nose captivates immediately, while the palate reveals a sumptuous blend of fruit and elegance. The meticulous winemaking process included small batch open fermentation and a carefully controlled maceration period of seven to fourteen days. This was followed by 20 months of maturation in a selection of new and one-year-old French barriques, enhancing the wine’s sophistication and ensuring a harmonious balance between fruit and oak.

Presented in a striking deep purple hue, the 2001 Wolf Blass Platinum Label Shiraz is bottled under screwcap to maintain its quality and style, ensuring that each sip reveals the wine's full character. Whether enjoyed upon release to savor its youthful intensity or cellared for over a decade to uncover its softer, integrated nuances, this Shiraz promises a remarkable tasting experience.

Recognized with multiple accolades, including the prestigious Amorim Cork Australian Trophy for Best Shiraz in Show at the 2003 Royal Adelaide Wine Show, this 750ml bottle stands as a testament to the excellence of Wolf Blass, solidifying its place in any discerning wine collection.
