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.

Loved this drop- and so did my lunch mates! The bottle had a very short lifespan!!

WINEMAKING TECHNIQUES

Handpicked grapes are chilled during transport before whole bunch pressing to oak. Fermentation with ambient yeasts on full juice solids in French oak puncheons. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation in oak, regular lees stirring to build texture before blending and bottling.

OAK MATURATION

Fermentation and maturation in new (25%) and seasoned French oak puncheons for 9 months.

TASTING

Attractive stone fruit and citrus aromas with complexity from maturation on fermentation lees. The palate is fine and long with persistent flavour supported by oak structure and length.

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.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
