Bleasdale The Wild Fig Langhorne Creek SGM 2023 (Australia)
Straightforward & fruit driven
Straightforward & fruit driven
Description
Blueberry, Oak, Spice
A medium weight red wine with lifted blueberry fruit and cherry cola notes, wild thyme, star anise, savoury and earthy characters. Depth and personality from the Shiraz with notes of rain on hot gravel, clove and citrus. Lifted fruit flavour with a fine chalky finish. Perfect when watching a summer thunderstorm. Vegan friendly.
Bleasdale continues to showcase the ability of Langhorne Creek to produce quality individualistic wines. Shiraz and Grenache were originally grown in Langhorne Creek for fortified winemaking but are proving to be excellent for table wine. Nurtured from small parcels into a vibrant, delicious drink.
Shiraz and Grenache de-stemmed together to open fermenters for a short pre-ferment maceration. Gentle pump overs initially, increasing to 4 times daily with ferment peak at 30ºC. Drained & pressed after 12-14 days, settled for 24 hours before racking to tank and oak for maturation. Further blending with select parcels before bottling.
Food Pairing: Best served approximately 15 - 16ºC. Flame grilled eggplant with tomatoes or chicken skewers.
