Platinum Label

2004 Barossa Syrah

The 2004 Wolf Blass Platinum Label Syrah from the renowned Barossa region is a remarkable expression of this varietal, showcasing an elegant and full-bodied profile. With a beautifully deep red color, this wine entices the senses right from the first glance. Its acidity is well-balanced, providing a pleasing brightness that enhances the wine's overall structure. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing enticing layers of dark fruit such as blackberry and plum, complemented by hints of spice and dark chocolate. Tannins are notable yet refined, adding a firm backbone while allowing for a smooth and rich mouthfeel. This Syrah finishes with a satisfying dryness that perfectly rounds out its bold character, making it a standout choice for any sophisticated palate.

Region:


Barossa

One of Australia's best-known wine regions, the Barossa Valley sits an hour north of Adelaide, where many of the country's most famous wineries are based. In this historic region, old bush vines—some dating back as far as 1860—produce full-bodied wines of dramatic depth and scope, principally from Shiraz, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. But Shiraz is the region's most popular varietal, with "Barossa Shiraz" almost a recognized brand in its own right, due to its concentrated flavors of juicy black fruit, plush tannins and the sweet spice of American oak. But whites are equally classy here, too, with Barossa's fresh, unoaked Sémillons and always captivating lush Chardonnays.
