Estate
Bleasdale Vineyards was founded in 1850 and has been run by six generations of the Potts family. James Halliday Five Red Star (top 2%).
Region
Langhorne Creek is moderated by breezes off Lake Alexandrina, making it one of South Australia's cooler and gentler regions.
Variety & Style
Sauvignon Blanc brings lime and cut-grass drive; Verdelho adds tropical fruit and a rounder finish. The combination is common in Australia, and its purpose is to give Sauvignon Blanc more mid-palate weight.
What to Expect
Plainly: this is an everyday wine, not a wine to think about. But it comes from a 175-year-old estate in Halliday's top 2%. What you are buying at this price is a winery's quality-control standard, not a star bottle — and that is exactly the point of this collection.
Serving
