Founded by Frank Potts in 1850, the Bleasdale winemaking philosophy is to capture the essence of what makes Langhorne Creek red wines so attractive – vibrancy, harmony and texture.
Conditions for grape growing in Langhorne Creek are ideal thanks to the natural fertility of the floodplain soils, the ability of those soils to retain moisture from natural winter floods, and the moderation of the local climate by cooling evening breezes from nearby Lake Alexandrina and the Southern Ocean in summer. Red varieties thrive in this rich environment, which explains why over 75% of all wine grapes grown in this region are red wine grapes.
