Best’s  Bin 1 Great Western Shiraz 2009

Wine drinkers are rediscovering the attractions of classic well structured Shiraz - balanced, elegant and approachable. Given the scarcity of Best’s Thomson Family Shiraz and Bin O Shiraz, the Bin 1 Shiraz has become the wine that often gives people their first taste of the Best’s Great Western Shiraz style.

Made predominantly from Best’s own vineyards and meticulously crafted with the same attention to detail as the Icon wines, Bin 1 Shiraz represents the essence of Best’s Great Western winemaking ideals and the uniqueness of the Great Western region. Bin 1 is a classic, cool climate, aromatic shiraz, made in a style that is floral, spicy and peppery, yet well balanced with no overt dominance of alcohol.
