One of the varieties grown in our 13 Acre Block, it was planted as Merlot, but as it grew it looked and behaved differently, and after investigation it was found to be Cabernet Franc. Made only a few times since its planting in the 1980's, (when we have some spare),  this wine has the ability to age well (the 1998 is looking superb).

Our "House Block" is as it says, is planted beside the Best's homestead and produces some exceptional parcels of fruit. In the best years we take these parcels and make something a little special out of them. Picked earlier, these wines have great flavours and are made off dry to balance the wine, making a great all round style.

The Thomson Family Shiraz is produced from Henry Best’s original 1868 Shiraz plantings, and is only produced in exceptional years. The Thomson Family Shiraz was elevated to the highest and rarest Langton's Classification of "Exceptional" in the 2018 Classification VII.  It is the only Victorian Shiraz in this category.

Our 13 Acre Block is the first block you pass coming down the drive. It was planted in the early 1980 to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a couple of rows of Petit Verdot. Made in only the best years, it shows what great wines are possible from this small patch.

Our 2019 Riesling displays the finer style Riesling that comes from the more elevated areas Great Western. Sourced from our Salvation Hills vineyard and a couple of select Great Western growers.  Fabulous Aromas of kaffir lime and nashi pear, with a lovely zesty minerally finish.
