Best’s Great Western - Concongella Vineyard
Cellar Door - Best's Wines, Great Western, Victoria
Great Western VIC 3377
Australia
Founded in 1866 in the Great Western wine region of Victoria, Best's Great Western is one of Australia's oldest continuously family owned and operated wineries. Best's is known to have some of the oldest vines in Australia and produces extraordinary wines with great longevity.
Today, Best's Great Western draws from three vineyards, Concongella, St Andrew's and the newest addition, Salvation Hills at Rhymney. Henry Best's original Nursery Block, containing over forty different varieties and his old shiraz and pinot vineyards are among Australia's most valuable viticultural resources.
These are three important factors in the style and quality of Best's Great Western wines. They are elegant, mid-weight wines of great intensity and balance. Like all classic long-lived wines, age often reveals their greatest finesse. At national and international wine shows, Best's consistently garners awards and accolades.
A visit to Best's Great Western Cellar door is nothing but memorable. The lovely, old, red gum slab tasting room (the 1869 Stables), the hand-dug 1860s cellars and the original Nursery Block plantings are a significant slice of Australian wine history.
Wines for tasting and sale include Best's current range of table and fortified wines, and limited release wines available through cellar door only. At times, releases of back vintages may be available for purchase.
