2018 Best's Riesling, Great Western Victoria

Best’s have a long history with Riesling, having planted first wines in 1860s. Great Western Riesling region is characteristic with flavoursome, elegantly structure age-worthy Rieslings and stands confidently alongside some of the best Australian examples of the variety.

Pale straw-green; the bouquet is enticing, but it's the palate that sends all the senses into overdrive. Intense lime juice intersects with shiny bright acidity. This takes mouthwatering flavours onto new levels. Great length inevitably follows, promising a very long life. The Great Western subregion deserves far greater recognition for its rieslings.
