Bleasdale The Wild Fig Langhorne Creek SGM 2021 (Australia)
"Deep red with a tint of purple and a promising bouquet of spices, fresh-turned earth and pepper, unmistakeably Rhône-ish in varietal terms. Medium bodied and layered with fine powdery tannins. Straightforward and fruit driven at this stage, but will reward some cellar time with more complexity" Huon Hooke, Real Review, Oct 2023
A medium weight red wine with lifted blueberry fruit and cherry cola notes, wild thyme, star anise, savoury and earthy characters. Depth and personality from the Shiraz with notes of rain on hot gravel, clove and citrus. Lifted fruit flavour with a fine chalky finish. Perfect when watching a summer thunderstorm. Drinking well now until 2028.
Bleasdale continues to showcase the ability of Langhorne Creek to produce quality individualistic wines. Shiraz and Grenache were originally grown in Langhorne Creek for fortified winemaking but are proving to be excellent for table wine. Nurtured from small parcels into a vibrant, delicious drink.
Estate Vineyard and Specialist Growers Langhorne Creek, South Australia.
Shiraz and Grenache de-stemmed together to open fermenters for a short pre-ferment maceration. Gentle pump overs initially, increasing to 4 times daily with ferment peak at 30oC. Drained & pressed after 12-14 days, settled for 24 hours before racking to tank and oak for maturation. Further blending with select parcels before bottling. 6 months in aged French oak puncheons and stainless steel to retain freshness.
Food Pairing: Best served approximately 15 - 16oC. Flame grilled eggplant with tomatoes or chicken skewers.
