Description

The 2022 Bleasdale Vineyards Mulberry Tree Cabernet Sauvignon is a prime example of the exceptional value and quality that Langhorne Creek, and specifically Bleasdale, can offer.

Established in 1850 by Frank Potts, Bleasdale is one of Australia’s oldest wineries, and their Mulberry Tree vineyard, named after the ancient tree by the Bremer River, consistently produces outstanding fruit.

This Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with small amounts of Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, is deep in both colour and flavour. Aromas of mixed berries, woody herbs, dark chocolate, and violets greet the nose, setting the stage for a smooth and persistent palate. Blackcurrant and spicy oak notes dominate, with a silky texture and subtle tannins that lead to a clean, elegant finish.

This is a generous, yet refined Cabernet that perfectly balances power and elegance, at a ridiculous price. A no-brainer for any Cabernet lover.

93 points - "This is a beauty. Buy this. It's plump, it's controlled, it's generous and it's distinctive. It tastes of iodine and plum, peppercorn and cedar, and while it feels powerful through the palate, the finish is as neat as a pin." - Campbell Mattinson (Halliday Wine Companion)

With deep alluvial floodplains and the maritime influence of Lake Alexandrina, Langhorne Creek is home to some of Australia’s best soils and growing conditions. Frank Potts realised this when he established Bleasdale in 1850. The iconic Mulberry Tree vineyard, named after the ancient
tree that grows adjacent to the vineyard on the banks of the Bremer River, consistently
produces fruit of exceptional quality. This is an elegant Cabernet Sauvignon with intense aromas of mixed berries, woody herbs, dark
chocolate and violets. The palate is smooth and persistent, with blackcurrant and spicy oak flavours, before finishing with soft and subtle tannins.

Bleasdale

Historic South Australian wine producer, Bleasdale, was established in 1850 by English migrant Frank Potts who arrived on the HMS Buffalo in 1836. For four generations, the Potts family have farmed their portion of Langhorne Creek, and are baked into the lore of South Australia's rich and multifaceted agricultural/viticultural history.

Their current-day winemaker, Paul Hotker, has had an incredible run of late. In 2017 he was named the 2018 Halliday Wine Companion Winemaker of the Year, in 2019 he took out Australia's most coveted Wine Show accolade, the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy.

In 2023 they were awarded the highly coveted Halliday Winery of the Year. Regardless of your preferred wine style, there is something of exceptional value on offer from Bleasdale here for you.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
