Black Label Cabernet Shiraz Malbec 1991 Museum Release

Overview

Overview

The 1991 vintage sees the 19th consecutive release of Black Label, our iconic flagship and the first ultra-premium wine made by Wolf Blass with the aim to create the finest red blend from the vintage.

The philosophy behind Black Label is simple: to take the year’s very best wines and weave them together into a synergistic whole, the resultant wine being greater than the sum of its parts. It’s about creating a wine with many layers of flavour in a complex composition of intense fruit characters, magnificent structure, a rich lustrous texture, long velvety tannins and a lingering palate.

Fruit for Black Label is chosen solely on the basis of its intensity of flavour and potential for longevity. The individual vineyard batches were fermented on skins to 4° Baume then pressed, with the fermentation completed in new oak.

Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

A fresh nose with rich Cabernet fruit and lovely deep blackberry, cassis and dark chocolate aromas with hints of sweet oak, florals and eucalypt.

Flavours and Palate

A powerful, focused and balanced wine with much sophistication to the sweet, rich fruit, ripe chocolatety tannins and mocha vanillin oak. Lovely fruit complexity and richness, with good structure also a hallmark. Archetypal Black Label.

South Australia

Home to the oldest vines in the country, and no less than 18 wine growing regions, South Australia accounts for almost 50% of Australia’s wine production. The Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek and Coonawarra are well known for their world class reds, with Adelaide Hills, Clare Valley and Eden Valley praised for their exceptional Chardonnay and Riesling.

A relatively warm and dry growing season presented no problems at any stage. Initially the feeling was that the wines would not be - could not be - as good as the great 1990s but in the longer term this proved not to be the case.

Wolf Blass Team

The Wolf Blass team of winemakers share a similar working ethos – to boldly chase the pursuit of excellence, to uphold and represent Wolf Blass' proud history, and to create wine of exceptional quality.
