Two of South Australia’s iconic wineries, Langhorne Creek’s Bremerton Wines and Ben Potts Wines, have announced a very special release…and it’s not a new wine.
Lucy Willson from Bremerton Wines and Ben Potts of Ben Potts Wines have created the perfect blend in time for Christmas – a beautiful girl named Peggy Mignonne – who was born at Burnside Hospital late on Wednesday evening.
Arriving two and a half weeks before her due date and weighing a healthy 2.85kg, Peggy represents the seventh generation of the famous wine-making Potts family and the third generation from Bremerton.
“Everyone in Langhorne Creek is already placing bets on her becoming a winemaker,” Lucy Willson says.
“Whatever she decides to be, Langhorne Creek is a great place for kids and we can’t wait to take her home and celebrate our first Christmas as a family of three.”
Ben’s great-great-great grandfather, Frank Potts, planted his first vines in 1858 establishing the now famous Bleasdale Winery while Lucy’s parents, Craig and Mignonne Willson, purchased the historic Bremerton Winery in 1985, whose history dates back to 1866.
Today Ben is Chief Winemaker at Ben Potts Wines while Lucy is Marketing Manager at Bremerton.
The Langhorne Creek wine region recently launched a new regional branding initiative – “Experience our Past. Taste the Future” which celebrates its unique past and future.
Surrounded by ancient red gums and with cooling lake and ocean breezes, Langhorne Creek is less than an hour south east from Adelaide in South Australia. With seven cellar doors and boutique B&Bs, it’s the perfect destination for day trips or longer stays.
