VITICULTURE VINTAGE & WINEMAKING

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.

Higher than average rainfall through winter and spring resulted in good soil moisture profiles to start the season.

Predominantly mild summer conditions and a warm, dry autumn allowed for slow, moderate ripening.

This led to high quality wines with bright, vibrant fruit, great flavour development and varietal definition.



VITICULTURE VINTAGE & WINEMAKING

Excellent conditions throughout the growing season began with average winter rainfall, and a drier spring. Very hot January weather was tempered with good water management, with balanced canopies providing shade and assisting optimum ripening. Warm, dry conditions continued through harvest , promoting good flavour profiles and colour development.

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.
