An elegant wine with aromas of mixed berries, dark chocolate and violets. The palate is smooth with blackcurrant and spicy oak flavours and finishes with fine chalky tannins.

From the Winery: Grapes are harvested and fermented separately in wax lined concrete open vats. Extended post ferment maceration is employed prior to gently pressing to new and seasoned French Oak for maturation for up to 14 – 16 months, prior to estate bottling.
The Mulberry Tree vineyard is named after an ancient tree growing in the middle of the block.
Bleasdale Vineyards is Langhorne Creek's founding winery and Australia's second oldest family-owned and operated winery, established in 1850 by English migrant Frank Potts, who arrived in South Australia on the Buffalo in 1836. The vineyards are situated on the flood plains of the Bremer river. Frank Potts left behind him a wonderful legacy that continues today. His sons and grandsons have operated and built up the winery, and Bleasdale is solely owned and operated by fourth- and fifth-generation members of the Potts family.
