The Best's Riesling 2024 boasts a pale white colour with hints of green. Its aroma is filled with intense notes of white florals, blossom, apricot, nectar, and lemon sorbet. On the palate, it offers a fresh and vibrant taste with a variety of stone fruits such as nectarines and apricots. The dominant flavours of lemon and lime sorbet are driven by the phenolics of lemon rind. This light-bodied wine packs a punch with its dynamic flavours and vibrant acidity. While it is delicious upon release, it also has the potential to age gracefully in your cellar, developing complex toasty aromas and flavours over time.

Winery & Vintage Info
Riesling vines were first planted as part of Henry Best’s ‘Nursery Block’ vineyard in the 1860s. From subsequent plantings in 1944 and 1978, Riesling has become a significant part of the wineries 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.
Vintage 2024 began with a very wet spring. Rain and cool temperatures were the theme up until Christmas. The rain slowed down in January and was followed by very warm weather across February. The warmer end to vintage promoted intense stone fruit characters in the finished product. Across the Great Western Region, the 2024 yields for Riesling were the biggest in recent memory.
