Bleasdale have long been regarded one of Australia's leading makers and advocates of Malbec having grown the variety since the late 1880's. While Malbec is rarely seen as a standalone wine in Australia, Bleasdale have been championing the varietal for many years, consistently delivering impressive results.
This 2021 Bleasdale Second Innings Malbec is another delicious red delivering plenty of blackberry, plum and red berry flavours with a touch of olive, subtle toasty oak and spice. Finishing soft and round with velvety tannins, this is a versatile red that offers super value drinking at this price.
