Best's Pinot Meunier is a unique wine from a number of aspects.Firstly, very few producers around the world make a red winefrom the variety, and secondly the Best's Concongella PinotMeunier is one of the oldest bearing vines in Australia - It'squite an experience to sit down to a bottle and thumb throughManning Clarks History of Australia - and with each sip reflecton a moment of Australia's past - escapism perhaps, butnonetheless a privileged experience. Old vines produce lowyielding crops and a texture and tannin structure that is velvetsmooth, yet mysteriously capable of cellaring for up to 20 years.RARE LIMITED RELEASEVINES PLANTED IN 1869 - A TASTE OF HISTORYSuperb crimson colour. The nose is perfumed with aromas ofstrawberry, spice, violets - pure pleasure. The palate is fullbodied, generous with a wonderful silky texture - greatconcentration of fruit flavour, soft - velvet smooth tannins andprolonged aftertaste. Magnificent! Stocks are extremely limited- a must for collectors. Superb with game.\Z
