Bleasdale The Wild Fig SGM 2023 x 12
Bleasdale continues to showcase the ability of Langhorne Creek to produce quality
individualistic wines. Shiraz and Grenache were originally grown in Langhorne Creek for
fortified winemaking but are proving to be excellent for table wine. Nurtured from small parcels
into a vibrant, delicious drink.
A medium weight red wine with lifted blueberry fruit and cherry cola notes, wild thyme, star
anise, savoury and earthy characters. Depth and personality from the Shiraz with notes of
rain on hot gravel, clove and citrus. Lifted fruit flavour with a fine chalky finish. Perfect when
watching a summer thunderstorm.
Vegan friendly.
