This is another cracking shiraz from Bleasdale.

94 Points

The fruit feels pure, and the balance is spot-on. This is another cracking shiraz from Bleasdale. It's sweet with plum flavours, tempered by spice and mint notes, and complexed by flavours of woodsmoke, cedar, hay and black pepper. It's a lovely wine, no arguments.

2025 Halliday Wine Companion, 07 Aug 2024

The majestic red gums that surround Bleasdale are at the core of our remarkable history. When
Frank Potts settled the land in the 1850s, he used the timber from these big, beautiful trees to
build our winery. Our vineyards benefit from the rich, clay soils that also support these gums,
giving generosity and longevity to our wines. The growth rings reflect the multitude of stories
from past seasons and generations of family and growers alike.
Shiraz was the first red grape variety planted in Langhorne Creek at Bleasdale in 1858. This
wine shows flavours of ripe plums and other dark berries, layered with liquorice, pepper and
fresh spices. Drinking well now, but with the potential to be a long term cellaring prospect if
desired. After a period of cellaring, it is normal for some sediment to form. Decanting one hour
before drinking is recommended.
