Description

The  Bleasdale Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is a stellar example of how Bleasdale combines quality with value.

Hailing from the cool climate of Adelaide Hills, this wine is crafted by Bleasdale, a historic South Australian winery founded in 1850. Under the guidance of acclaimed winemaker Paul Hotker, the Chardonnay grapes are handpicked, chilled, and whole-bunch pressed at dusk in Bleasdale’s historic cellars.

The wine is aged on lees for several months, with 25% matured in new oak barrels. On the nose, you’ll find bright aromas of citrus and stone fruits, complemented by subtle biscuity notes. The palate is well-balanced, with the fruit's natural vibrancy gently supported by lovely creamy oak.

Bleasdale's Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is a versatile and delicious wine for an absolute steal.

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.
