"It all comes together beautifully, perfectly, in Thomson Family Shiraz. Tasted 1 year before release and it's already an elegant and noble wine. Dark berry fruit, hints of sage and cassia bark with gentle leafiness. Oak and tannins, well, they are seamless and supple. A complex life awaits." Jeni Port - Aug 2021
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.

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 winemaking ideals and the uniqueness of the Great Western region.
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.
Grown in our 13 Acre Block, originally thought to be Merlot, but as it grew it looked and behaved differently, and after investigation it was found to be Cabernet Franc.
Succulent and plush dark berry flavours with velvety tannins and a lingering minerality. This wine will gain complexity over the next 10-15 years
