As ever, a very distinguished riesling, its fluid power and the insistence of the palate results in exceptional length, crackling minerally acidity, married with lemon and lime fruit. Bargain.

Pale straw and youthful in appearance. Lifted and pure aromas of white flowers, citrus blossom and lemon rind—really inviting. The flavours are bright, lemony and tangy. There's sherbet and talc, and a delightful acid zippiness and a generosity of flavour that carries through and gives impressive length03 SEP 2021 2021–2036

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.
Luminescent pale straw with a green hue. An enchanting nose of honeysuckle, muddled lime, wet stone and fresh beeswax. A pure line of bony acidity rounded with intense lime and melon flavours. Long and satiating.
The Rieslings of Best’s have a proven ability to mature gracefully for 20 years or more. This example is no exception, and its youthful freshness is a good sign for its long life in the cellar. It will gather complex toasty aromas and flavours as the years pass. Drink with steamed coral trout, ginger and shallots.
