The Society's Australian Shiraz 2023
Langhorne Creek is one of South Australia’s most historic, yet perhaps lesser-known wine regions, producing classically styled, high-quality shiraz at remarkably attractive prices, making it the perfect source for a Society wine. With its rich and colourful history, Langhorne Creek stalwarts Bleasdale Wines is one of the oldest wineries in Australia. Quality and consistency lie at the heart of all they do. From the outset, the ambition for this wine has been to create a shiraz that punches well above its price, delivering all the generous fruit and classic character you would expect from Australia’s signature red grape, but with a depth and complexity that sets it apart from its peers. The result is a superb benchmark for Australian shiraz, offering exceptional quality and character at a price that makes it all the more appealing.

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.
