From 3 estate blocks and 1 specialist Langhorne Creek grower. 20% whole berries. Ferment finished in tank then racked to French oak puncheons (10% new) and matured for 12 months. Next-level malbec here, with all its varietal expectations fulfilled. Vibrant purple colour, violets and blue/black fruits, a whiff of iodine and a faint sense of Dutch licorice, without its bitterness. All of it swells on the palate, the tannins settling in underneath, fitting neatly with the flow of the wine. Many years ahead of it – decant for now.

Bleasdale has been growing Malbec since the late 1800's and produced the regions first Malbec table wine in 1961.
This wine is dark purple with intense aromas of violets, blackberries, plums and clove spice. Drinking well now, but with the potential to be a long term cellaring prospect if desired. Lightly fined and racked before bottling without filtration, it is normal for some sediment to form. Decanting one hour before drinking is recommended.
