Bleasdale
Bleasdale, started in 1850, is the second oldest family-owned winery in Australia. Fifth generation family members are still working there. Langhorne Creek, a quintessential Australian village with its pub, general store and community hall, is south-east of Adelaide. The winery is a sprawling corrugated iron building which is listed by the National Trust. Inside there's a splendid red gum lever press dating back to 1890 and a tasting room which is part museum. Well worth a visit if you find yourself in Adelaide.
“There’s an argument to say that the Bleasdale winery, both historically and most certainly at the hand of winemaker Paul Hotker, should be regarded as every Australian wine lover’s best friend. It’s probably best known as a value producer, thanks to the fact – as James Halliday so aptly puts it – that there’s ‘value across the board’, but it’s become abundantly apparent in recent years that Bleasdale is a whole lot more than that".
