Established in 1966 by Wolfgang Otto Blass on a small site of the Barossa Valley, Wolf Blass w**es is now one of the most iconic names in Australian w**e, and one of the most awarded w**eries in Australian history. Four years later, Wolf Blass W**es was born with the first vintage of Wolf Blass Black Label. From humble beginnings in a tin shed in the Barossa Valley, Wolf Blass W**es is now one of the most successful and awarded w**eries in Australia. The piece of land happened to be on Bilyara Road and when researching the name, Wolf discovered that it is the Aboriginal name for “Eaglehawk”. As the eagle is also the national emblem of Germany, Wolf’s homeland, he decided that the Eagle would also appear on all of his w**es – a legacy that continues today. In 1974 Wolf Blass Black Label won the highly coveted Jimmy Watson Trophy from the Melbourne W**e Show, the first of three consecutive wins. In 1999, Wolf Blass Black Label made history, becoming the only w**e to win the Jimmy Watson Trophy an unprecedented four times. Since then, Wolf Blass has won more than 3,000 awards at national and international w**e shows, including most recently, International Red W**emaker of the Year at the 2008 International W**e Challenge in London. Wolf Blass W**es have always had a unique and highly distinguishable style. With a strong focus on careful fruit sourcing, fermentation, maturation and blending, the w**es deliver lifted vibrant fruit flavours, a soft rounded palate and well integrated tannins that are the hallmarks of the entire Wolf Blass range. Today, Wolf Blass w**es are exported to more than 50 countries and the Wolf Blass brand is recognised internationally as a producer of premium w**es.
