Bart’s Block is a very special parcel of dry grown Shiraz in the Concongella vineyard. Planted in 1966 with Best’s Old Block Clone Shiraz and named to commemorate the birth of Hamish “Bart” Thomson in the same year. Released to celebrate the Thomson Family's 100th year history and custodianship of the Best's Wines.
2017 Bart's Block Shiraz Trio is only available for the month of July. The RRP for this wine $150 per bottle, but we want you all to try it and be able to put some aside to drink later. Much later.

This wine contains Shiraz from the best elevated vineyards in Great Western and is co-fermented with a small amount of Viognier. The viognier helps brighten the colour, lift the aromatics and polish the Shiraz flavours on the palate.
This wine is a representation of another facet of Riesling’s charms. Displaying complex aromatic honeyed richness with texture and acidity to balance, it is the ideal accompaniment to stinky creamy cheese.
Made from grapes sourced off our own Riesling blocks and Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer from a passionate local grower, this blend is inspired by the great classic white blends of the noble white wine varieties in Alsace, France.
Our Nursery Block is a veritable vineyard museum with 39 separate varieties, eight remaining unknown and unnamed to this day. This is a wine that speaks more about history, soils and place than variety, a unique expression of Australian wine heritage
This wine is a representation of another facet of Riesling’s charms. Displaying complex aromatic honeyed richness with texture and acidity to balance, it is the ideal accompaniment to stinky creamy cheese.
Made from Henry Best’s first plantings of nearly 150 years ago, the ancient Nursery Block is a veritable vineyard museum with 39 separate varieties, 8 remaining unknown and unnamed to this day. A lighter bodied wine that explodes with the personality, soil and history of the vineyard site.
This unique wine comes from our ‘Young Vine’ plantings of Pinot Meunier which were established in 1970- a century after our original “old vine” plantings, and the Old Clone Pinot Noir plantings, both from our Concongella Vineyard.
