Bleasdale The Wild Fig Langhorne Creek Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre 2022

Fabulous three-way blend of Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvèdre from this 170-year-old, 5-Star estate Bleasdale Vineyards have been proudly owned by the Potts family for five generations – that’s 170 years. Founder Frank Potts was born in Hounslow, and joined the Royal Navy at just 9! He started his career as a powder monkey and travelled the world several times, before settling in South Australia in 1836. Originally a carpenter, in 1850, on seeing a great plot of land near the town of Langhorne Creek, he and his new wife bought it and began farming. Theirs became the first winery in the region. In 2007, Paul Hotker became their winemaker (Winemaker of the Year 2018) and since then they've won 60 Trophies, most recently the Jimmy Watson for the 2022 Wild Fig. Aged six months in large oak casks, this 2-year-old red is rich, ripe and smooth.
