Bleasdale is rich in history, the winery weaves the stories of its past generations through their wines. Enjoying a wine from Bleasdale Vineyards is almost like taking a history lesson! The name of this wine, HMS Buffalo, was also the name of the ship that founder Frank Potts rode on his voyage to Australia from Portsmouth, England, in 1836. The first Governor of Australia, Arthur Phillip, was with Potts aboard the HMS Buffalo.
Bleasdale Vineyards was founded in 1850, after Potts discovered the potential of the rich, alluvial soils along the Bremer River. The small, agriculturally focused growers of Langhorne Creek produce solid wines with a modest reputation. The HMS Buffalo is a common Aussie blend, dominated by Shiraz (63%), Cabernet Sauvignon (26%) and an 11% splash of Malbec. The Malbec is not declared on the label, as the Label Integrity Programme (LIP) in Australia does not require it to be noted. Enjoy today, or before 2019. Serve at proper room temperature, 18C.
