Frank Potts founded Bleasdale in 1850, this wine celebrates his legacy of innovation and resourcefulness.

This is the 13th release of Bleasdale's flagship Frank Potts blend and is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 89%, Malbec 10% & 1% Petit Verdot.

Maturation in French oak barrels has added some complexity to the soft round palate which finishes with a lovely sweet fruit richness.
