2023 Bleasdale Wellington Road GSM

The 2023 Bleasdale Wellington Road GSM is a stellar choice for those after great value in a red. Coming from Bleasdale, Australia’s second-oldest family-owned winery, this wine carries a legacy without the hefty price tag.

Established in 1850 by Frank Potts, Bleasdale has been crafting wines in Langhorne Creek for over six generations, and this blend is a nod to that tradition.

Named after the original road leading to Bleasdale, the Wellington Road GSM combines Grenache, Shiraz, and Mourvèdre into a bright crimson drop bursting with cherry and blackberry flavours. A dash of nutmeg and white pepper adds a bit of spice, while the soft, chalky tannins make it an easy, enjoyable drink.

Ideal with pork belly or duck, this wine is great to enjoy now or tuck away for a bit of ageing. At just $25, it’s a fantastic find that brings a piece of history to your glass without breaking the bank.

"Glorious GSM. Velvety and flavoursome with perfectly crafted tannin and the length to match. Red berries and blue, peppercorns and cedar, sweet spices and florals. Bass and treble, mid-tones and reverb. This is the goods."
