Bleasdale Bremerview Shiraz 2022 x 6
When Frank Potts established Bleasdale on the Langhorne Creek floodplain in 1850, he built a
system of locks and weirs to capture and use floodwaters from the Bremer River to irrigate his
vines. Many of Langhorne Creek’s vineyards, including Bleasdale’s Bremerview vineyard, still
rely on his original flood irrigation system that comes into operation when the river naturally
overflows to the vineyards planted along its banks.
A true expression of Langhorne Creek Shiraz, this is a medium bodied wine showing intense
lifted spice aromas and dark berry fruit. The palate is long and silky with fine tannins, offering
juicy plum and blackberry fruits, with notes of clove and pepper.
