Best’s Great Western Bin No. ‘0’ Shiraz 2017

An elegant, supple reflection of this cooler but excellent vintage (for Great Western) whose deep, faintly herbal bouquet of raspberries, blackberries and blueberries, cola and dried herbs reveals gentle cedary oak and a whiff of white pepper. Medium in weight, its generous, plush layers of red and blue fruits and dusty, powdery tannins extend with balance and charm towards a supple finish suggestive of blood plums and raspberries. A wonderful vintage of this classically charming and elegant wine.

Best's Great Western
Go to wines in shop
An icon in Australian wine, BestŐs is an historic winery in western Victoria whose shirazes rate among AustraliaŐs finest. Typical Great Western in style, they're steeped in fruit, laced with black pepper and exotic spices, but achieve a depth of fruit, strength and structure without appearing ham-fisted or clunky. The Bin No. '0' and Thomson Family Reserve Shirazes from 2014 reflect the intensity and harmony of this excellent vintage and will both cellar for the long term. Like several others from this region and from the nearby Henty area, Best's pristine and long-living Riesling continues to improve in its traditional off-dry style.
