Best’s Great Western Riesling 2021
Riesling vines were first planted as part of Henry Best’s ‘Nursery Block’ vineyard in the 1860’s. Then from subsequent plantings in 1944 and 1978, Riesling has become a significant part of our regime.
The Riesling vines from Great Western produce flavoursome, elegantly structured, spectacularly age-worthy Rieslings which stand confidently alongside some of the most outstanding Australian examples of the variety. In recent times, the style has evolved to match the Continental climatic conditions to a beautifully balanced wine with texture and aromatics.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Very bright pale straw
Bouquet: Refined aromatics of citrus, exotic fruits and white flowers
Palate: Intense fresh flavours rounded by a slight sweetness which is restrained by a racy mineral finish.
Cellaring
The Rieslings of Best’s have a proven ability to mature gracefully for 20 years or more. This example is no exception and will gather complex toasty aromas and flavours as the years pass. Drink it with a King Prawn Laksa.
