Description

The Bleasdale Frank Potts Cabernet Blend is a wine that honours a legacy of hard work and innovation.

 Named after the pioneering Frank Potts, who founded Bleasdale Vineyards in 1850, this blend is the culmination of six generations of dedication to winemaking excellence.

Crafted from a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Merlot, this wine is a complex symphony of red berry and darker fruit aromas, underpinned by fine oak tannins and a lively berry finish.

Enjoy it now, or cellar for up to 10 years - either way, this is one of the best value Cabernet blends in the country.

"Salt and pepper, blueberry and blackcurrant, cloves and minerally/ferrous characters. This is a seriously good wine. It's characterful, balanced, lengthy and interesting, its dark-berried fruit flavours sunk deep into the palate, its freshness maintained, and its finish as convincing as everything that came before."
- Campbell Mattinson (Halliday Wine Companion)

    Disappointing

    This wine did not live up to the Hallidays rating.

Frank Potts was not a man given to procrastination. He simply rolled up his sleeves and got the job done. At age nine, Frank joined the British Royal Navy, and by the time he arrived in South Australia in 1836, he had sailed the globe. After purchasing land on the Bremer River, Frank himself cleared it of red gums, planted vineyards, and then used the timber to build his winery. Six generations on, it is his work ethic and enduring legacy that drives everyone at Bleasdale.

This wine is layered and complex with red berry and darker fruit aromas. These characters continue onto the palate, with fruit layers supported by fine oak tannin and lively berry persistence. Bottled without filtration, it is normal for some sediment to form; decanting one - two hours prior to drinking is recommended. Enjoyed in its youth, or cellar for 10-20 years.

Bleasdale

Historic South Australian wine producer, Bleasdale, was established in 1850 by English migrant Frank Potts who arrived on the HMS Buffalo in 1836. For four generations, the Potts family have farmed their portion of Langhorne Creek, and are baked into the lore of South Australia's rich and multifaceted agricultural/viticultural history.

Their current-day winemaker, Paul Hotker, has had an incredible run of late. In 2017 he was named the 2018 Halliday Wine Companion Winemaker of the Year, in 2019 he took out Australia's most coveted Wine Show accolade, the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy.

In 2023 they were awarded the highly coveted Halliday Winery of the Year. Regardless of your preferred wine style, there is something of exceptional value on offer from Bleasdale here for you.
