Laser-guided wet stone, jasmine and lime skin on the nose give rise to a tightly coiled palate wrapped around a crystalline spine of acidity. An Australian Riesling of wonderful grace and class.

Quintessential cool climate Chardonnay from the Snowy Mountains - finely textured, elegant and stylish with attractive citrus flavours.

A real insider’s wine, or another Best Kept Secret, Great Western Riesling is aromatic and flavoursome yet structured and spectacularly age-worthy. Best's Rieslings stand confidently alongside their acclaimed South Australian cousins. The Great Western region lends itself well to producing exceptional Rieslings – its diurnal weather patterns (warm days/cold nights) work well for this varietal. Some of our original nursery plantings can be traced back to Germany, so there's a significant history and pedigree in the root stock of Great Western Riesling.

Grown on the sandy loams of the Concongella Creek and the Rhymney Vineyard sites, and occasionally from selected local vineyards, Best’s Riesling shows the intensity and finesse that are hallmarks of the Great Western region. The wine is made to show true varietal characteristics, achieved by letting the pristine fruit shine above all else. It is cold fermented in stainless steel tanks, retaining the fruit’s inherent aromatics and acidity. Balance, texture and fruit flavour make for an accessible, food-friendly wine. And while made to drink now, it will definitely age for many years to come. We can testify that Best’s Great Western Rieslings from the 1970s are drinking superbly now.

This is our best selling chardonnay!

White stone fruit flavours with a good acid backbone and great use of oak.

This is a classic style chardonnay but one of the good ones that survived past the 80's!

Grown from the Alsatian GM-198 clone, the palate is bursting with juicy citrus before mineral acidity floods the finish.

Classic Eden Valley in style: crisp and dry, delicate white floral aromas lead into an intense lime citrus/Granny Smith core, intermingled with steely minerality and a sumptuous, textural mouthfeel. There's a soft refreshing acidity balancing the intensity of fruit and providing the backbone to enable medium-long term cellaring if so desired.

Exotic aromas of Jasmine, Honeysuckle and Mandarin float alluringly from the glass and lead to a texture laden yet delicate palate evoking new season pink lady apples, mandarin with a finely textured finish of mineral bath salts with a subtle edge of refreshing quinine.

Hand-picked from the Ahrens Vineyard. A fine, slatey, zesty wine, high on finesse, but with a fierce whip of flavour to close. - Campbell Mattinson, Halliday

Crisp Dry Riesling made from fruit sourced from one of the finest vineyards in the Clare Valley

Crisp Aussie Riesling bursting with zesty lime, green apple, and a whisper of floral notes. Refreshingly dry and vibrant.

Fresh natural acidity driven with superb floral and mineral notes - the citrus is more fleshy than piercing, balancing beautifully with the floral perfume.

The Nose displays aromas of lifted green apple blosom, finger lime and bath salts. The palate has finese, generosity and structure, with a persistent mineral finish.

Sourced from two tiny parcels in prime Riesling country, with its signature red dirt over limestone. Hand-picked in the cool of the night to help ensure a slow start to fermentation. De-stemmed, then gently pressed, keeping the pressings separate. A cool ferment of 12 degrees was maintained over 16 days. The two vineyard batches were kept separate until final blending took place. Left on lees until final filtration prior to bottling. Zestful, yet fine, epitomising what dry Watervale Riesling’s all about. Freshly squeezed key lime and lemon rind with a hint of rose petal perfume. Picked early to retain loads of natural, crunchy acid.
