NOTES
Shiraz has been produced at Best’s Great Western since the late 1800s, although the actual
date of the first Bin 0 Shiraz is lost in the annuals of time. What is certain is that Bin 0 as a
descriptor on the wine label has been in use for over 100 years. Best’s Bin 0 Shiraz is produced
from the four original Shiraz plantings in the low yielding blocks of the historic Concongella
vineyard at Great Western. This includes nineteenth century and mid twentieth century
plantings of Shiraz which result in very low yielding, intense vines. The fruit is hand-selected,
sorted and fermented in small-batches followed by rigorous barrel selection. The wine is then
aged in our underground cellar.
TASTING NOTES
Clean, fresh and lively, blueberry awash with spice and integrated oak notes. Fine tannin and acid support. Balance and length the hallmarks of Bin O Shiraz.
REVIEWS
Some colour development; black fruit aromas lead into an unexpectedly powerful palate, with savoury tannins very powerful. Screwcap. 13.7% alc.
