The Bleasdale Second Innings Malbec is crafted from 100% Malbec grapes, grown in the heart of the Langhorne Creek Region of South Australia. This area is famed for its cooling breezes that drift in from Lake Alexandrina, which contributes to the slow ripening process, resulting in grapes with intense flavor and balanced acidity. The wine is aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels, enhancing its complexity and adding subtle toasted vanilla notes. Bleasdale Vineyards, founded in 1850 by Frank Potts, is one of Australia’s oldest wineries and brings a historical depth to their winemaking process.
