Victoria’s Great Western region is firmly established as one of the most consistent riesling growers (outside of traditional regions). Whiplash-fast out of the blocks, with its mix of citrus, apple and slate to the fore, this wine will coast through to 2034.

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.
