One of the varieties grown in our 13 Arce 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 it's planting in the 1980's, (when we have some spare),  this wine has the ability to age well (the 1998 is looking superb).

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.

Shiraz has been the hallmark variety of Best's since the first vines were planted back in the 1868. Our Bin 0 has been around since the beginning, as well  as the top grade of wine produced. Picked off the Concongella vineyard here at the winery, these wines show balance and length with a generous and rounded fruit structure, and have a natural ability to age.

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.

Great Western Pinot Noir is know for its length, balance and bright fruit. This year is no exception - and for the first time the fruit is mostly from our Salvation Hills vineyard.
