2024 HALLIDAY 'WINERY OF THE YEAR'
Established in 1850 by English migrant Frank Potts, Bleasdale remains one of Australia's most loved and acclaimed wineries. This founding Langhorne Creek winery continues to draw high acclaim, including being named 'Winery Of The Year' in the 2024 Halliday Wine Companion.
Bleasdale Sparkling Shiraz is one of Australia's leading examples of sparkling red wine; a non vintage blend of Shiraz that contains wine from every vintage of Shiraz since 2002. Using a secret liqueuring recipe this richly flavoured, deep coloured sparkling Shiraz displays dark berry fruit aromas, sweet plum flavours, silky tannins and a rich, velvety smooth palate.
"95 Points Includes 'a little splash of malbec'; gold medal winner National Wine Show of Australia ’21. The base wines came from the 1997–2022 vintages. Has threaded the needle with lower dosages than usual (hence the gold medal), investing the wine with freshness and finely wrought tannins. Is there nothing outside the skills of Paul Hotker? Not to mention, value for money across the board."- 2024 Halliday Wine Companion top-rated wines, July 2023.
