Bleasdale Vineyards Generations Malbec 2023

BACKGROUND
The majestic red gums that surround Bleasdale are at the core of our remarkable history. When Frank Potts settled the land in the 1850s, he used the timber from these big, beautiful trees to build our winery. Our vineyards benefit from the rich, clay soils that also support these gums, giving generosity and longevity to our wines. The growth rings reflect the multitude of stories from past seasons and generations of family and growers alike.
Bleasdale has been growing Malbec since the late 1800’s and produced the regions first Malbec table wine in 1961.

TASTING NOTES
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. 

Winemaking Techniques
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
