WOLF BLASS RED LABEL CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Think Clare Valley and the name Taylors will roll off the tongue. In fact think top Aussie red producers and the name Taylors will pop up. It’s why they’re a member of the Australia’s First Families of Wine, the 12 founding family owned wineries across the ditch, and why for as long as we can remember this has been one of the most reliable, bang for your buck labels.

We reckon Taylors must be a little bit mad putting quality rich, lucious, medium to full bodied Shiraz under such a moderately priced label. They win an insane number of Gold medals around the globe every vintage – this 2018 release is out of the traps and already a Gold at NZ’s largest wine comp, the NZ International Wine Show.

One of (if not THE) most awarded Aussie Shiraz on the circuit over the years. Seriously, this label has an addiction to the bling!

Pair this style red with big red meat dishes – steaks, sausages, spicy pizzas or go with the Taylor’s recommendation of garlicy Kangaroo meatballs – if you can get your hands on a pair!

A marvellous Syrah offering richness, structure and balance. Rich and concentrated with blackberry, plum, green peppercorn and spice. It is a wine that will keep improving and we recommend to cellar up to 2030 with proper cellaring. 56% Syrah from Bridge Pa Triangle, 30% Te Awanga and 14 % Gimblett Gravels with 1% Viognier co-fermentation.
This wine aged 19 months in 25% new French oak.
