Deeply rooted in South Australia's winemaking heritage, the Bleasdale Langhorne Creek Sparkling Shiraz NV is a masterclass in consistency, tradition, and bold flavour. This non-vintage release is an extraordinary blend featuring portions of Shiraz from every vintage since 1997, with each spring bringing a fresh infusion of new vintage wine to maintain the house style’s richness and vibrancy.
Pouring a deep burgundy in the glass, it opens with a bouquet of dark berry fruits—plum, blackberry, and hints of clove. On the palate, layers of sweet plum and black cherry unfold alongside spice and supple tannins, all cushioned by a velvety, mousse-like texture that lingers luxuriously. A fine example of the style, this richly structured Sparkling Shiraz is a compelling pairing for glazed ham, roast duck, chargrilled lamb with mint, or even dark chocolate desserts.
Rated 95 Points by Halliday’s Wine Companion and 94 Points by Wine Showcase Magazine, this wine is also a Gold Medal Winner at the National Wine Show of Australia. As one of the country’s most celebrated producers, Bleasdale has earned the coveted Winery of the Year title at the James Halliday Wine Companion Awards 2024, as well as an enduring 5 Red Star rating—a testament to its legacy of excellence.

Includes 'a little splash of malbec'; gold medal winner National Wine Show of Australia ’21. The base wines came from the 1997–2022 vintages. Has threaded the needle with lower dosages than usual (hence the gold medal), investing the wine with freshness and finely wrought tannins. Is there nothing outside the skills of Paul Hotker? Not to mention, value for money across the board.
