Wolf Blass

 
Wolf Blass Wines International was born in 1973 when Wolf started his own business, purchasing a 2.5 acre land holding with an old army shed outside Nuriootpa, at the northern end of the Barossa Valley. From 1974-1976 Wolf Blass Wines won three consecutive Jimmy Watson Trophies, and the Black Label has generated substantial publicity and accolades.
 
From this time onwards growth was impressive with Wolf Blass Yellow Label and Riesling becoming Australia's top selling red and white wine. Exports first started in the mid-1970s to New Zealand, Fiji, Hong Kong and Singapore and in 1984 Wolf Blass Wines became a publicly listed company. By the end of 1990, the number of National and International awards totaled an incredible 2,575.
