Great Western Varietals

2010 Great Western Riesling

Best’s Great Western Riesling 2010

A real “insider’s” wine, Great Western produces flavoursome, elegantly structured, spectacularly age-worthy Rieslings which stand confidently alongside some of the most outstanding Australian examples of the variety.

Grown on the sandy loams of the Concongella Creek and the cooler Salvation Hills sites, the Great Western Riesling shows power and finesse which speak of this region.

Vintage Notes: 2010 was a bounce back season at the
Concongella vineyard. We had good spring
rains, virtually no frost and good level of soil
moisture was sustained. Good flavours developed
at low sugar levels which allowed early picking
and contributed to great natural acid balance.
A stand out season for Riesling.
