Wolf Blass AM named South Australian Legend of the Vine

Wine Communicators of Australia (WCA) announced Wolf Blass AM as the 2026 South Australian ‘Legend of the Vine’ on Friday (9 October) at the Royal Adelaide Wine Awards Lunch. The SA Legend of the Vine Award is presented by Wine Communicators of Australia to “recognise a South Australian who is of excellent character, who is held in high regard by their peers in the world of wine and who has made an outstanding contribution to the Australian wine industry”. “Wolf Blass is an outstanding Legend of the Vine, as he is a passionate wine communicator — someone who has taken the Australian wine message to the world, with clarity, conviction, and no shortage of personality,” said WCA. “There is one spot left on the walls of my Gallery & Museum, so I know exactly where this certificate is going,” Blass said whilst accepting the honour.
