Best's Bin 1 Shiraz 2019 (Great Western)
Dozen Price: $275.88
RRP: $25.00
The 2019 Bin 1 Shiraz from Best's is a deep vermillion red with a purple hue. Pungent notes of cracked pepper and cinnamon, with blackberry, raspberry and liquorice all having a say. Layered and complex. Very plush, but spicy red and blue fruits interplay with the fine long tannins to create a harmony of medium bodied extract and flavour. This vibrant and finely structured wine is great to enjoy now with food but will soften and gain complexity over the next 10 years. Ideal to drink with a roast rack of lamb and roasted vegetables.
"Regional DNA abounds in this purple-stained, black-hearted young shiraz chock-full of spice and delicious berries. A shiraz for both now and later such is its immediate upfront, plummy appeal, while boasting a tight tannin structure that won't quit."
93 Points - Jeni Port, Halliday's Wine Companion, August 2021
"This is a generous, easy-to-like shiraz offering blue and red berried fruit flavour is abundance. That is has liquorice notes tucked in there too, and mint, and foresty floral characters, and feels creamy in the mouth is all just the icing on a very tasty cake. No worries here. Open it up and it sings happily and deliciously along, no need to cellar (though it will), no need to decant."

Winery & Vintage Info
Best’s Great Western as a Shiraz ‘house’ has gathered experience with the variety through the legacy of Best’s long winemaking history dating back to the 1860’s. Bin 1 Shiraz is the wine that often gives people an introduction to the regional style of Great Western Shiraz.
Made predominantly from Best’s own vineyards and meticulously crafted with the same attention to detail as the Icon wines, Bin 1 Shiraz represents the essence of Best’s winemaking ideals and the uniqueness of the Great Western region.
Bin 1 is a classic, cool climate, aromatic Shiraz, made in a style that is perfumed, spicy and peppery, yet well balanced with no overt dominance of alcohol. It’s a great match with food - particularly dishes like spring lamb.
A warm, dry growing season meant that the vines ripened quickly, and crops were lower than average. Sufficient water supply ensured the grapevines remained in good health and some February rain gave the vines a well-deserved drink and freshened them up before the grapes were harvested.
