The Wine:
Bleasdale has been growing Malbec since the late 1800’s and produced the regions first Malbec table wine in 1961. This wine is dark purple with intense aromas of violets, blackberries, plums and clove spice. Drinking well now, but with the potential to be a long term cellaring prospect if desired. It is normal for some sediment to form. Decanting one hour before drinking is recommended.

De-stemmed to open fermenters, approx 20% whole berry, for 1 - 2 days pre-ferment maceration. Fermentation peak at 30°C with pump overs up to 4 times daily. Drained & pressed just prior to dryness after 7 to 10 days on skins, block dependent. Finished ferment in tank, then settled for 24 hours before racking to oak for MLF. 12 months in new (10%) and used puncheons.
