Bleasdale Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2024

White Wine from Australia - South Australia
2.500000000 star rating 2 Reviews
A refined and expressive chardonnay, the Bleasdale Adelaide Hills 2024 opens with bright and enticing aromas of luscious peach, zesty lemon, and delicate nectarine with delicate biscuity and mineral tones adding complexity. The palate is both elegant and well‑balanced, delivering a silky, fine texture through nine months of lees-maturation in 25% new and seasoned French oak, imparting creamy, toasty nuances and graceful oak support. Despite its polished richness, the wine maintains refreshing acidity and thoughtful restraint, offering persistent length and structural clarity. At 12.5% ABV, it captures the cool-climate charm of Adelaide Hills fruit with finesse. This Chardonnay is approachable now, yet its balance and depth promise further reward with medium-term cellaring.

Bleasdale Vineyards

The historic Bleasdale vineyards were founded in 1850 by Frank Potts, who arrived in South Australia from Portsmouth, England in 1836. Potts spotted the potential of the rich alluvial soils of the area and the impact of the Bremer River on which the isolated, tiny town of Langhorne Creek region depends for flood irrigation. His sons and grandsons operated and built up the winery, and even today the fourth and fifth generation of the Potts family are still involved in the winemaking and running of the winery. Their property, much of which enjoys conservation status, offers a fascinating insight into the history of Australia’s early settlers.

The cellars at Bleasdale are a national monument, constructed from red gumwood and limestone, and some of the original winemaking equipment is still occasionally used. Nevertheless, the emphasis here is on using modern technology to produce wines of consistently high quality. Until the 1990s much of the region’s fruit went into multi-regional blends and it was only when a group of long-term family growers – including Bleasdale – started promoting 100% Langhorne Creek wines that the region became recognised in its own right.
