Description Bleasdale is “one of the most historic wineries in Australia ... in 2015 celebrating 165 years of continuous winemaking by the direct descendants of the founding Potts family.” (Halliday). Last year, winemaker Paul Hotker, a “master blender”, was named Halliday’s Winemaker of the Year. This shows off his immense skill and style. “Made with the same care as a red wine four times its price, the quality embarrassingly good. It’s an elegant wine shouting its variety and place from the rooftops, its vibrantly fresh blackcurrant/cassis heart pumping furiously ... 94pts” (Halliday).
