Bleasdale Adelaide Hills Pinot Gris 2018

Bleasdale is “one of the most historic wineries in Australia ... in 2015 celebrating 165 years of continuous winemaking by the direct descendants of the founding Potts family.” (Halliday). Among many major awards, they’ve won the Jimmy Watson Trophy and winemaker Paul Hotker, a “master blender”, was named Halliday’s Winemaker of the Year 2018.
“Plenty of flavour here defined by a riper version of gris’ marrow: pear gelato, tarte tatin and a whiff of marzipan. This is easy enough, boasting sufficient points of differentiation and real effort: barrel, partial wild ferment and a period on skins... 90pts. Great Value.” (Halliday).
