2025 Best’s Great Western Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir was first planted in the Nursery Block at Best's in the late 1860's which are today thought to be some of the oldest in the world. It is believed that the Pinot Noir cuttings used to propagate the Nursey Block were sourced from some of the finest vineyards in Burgundy and brought across as part of the James Busby collection.
The fruit for this wine comes from 1980 and 1987 Pinot Noir plantings in the Concongella vineyards, at Best’s Great Western and the 1997 plantings at the elevated vineyard at Salvation Hills.

A decidedly moreish Pinot that’s highlighted by fresh, juicy fruit, excellent power and a silky feel.

Red to dark red colour with black toned edges and a vibrant crimson red hue. Fragrant aromas of violet, red to dark cherry and strawberry blossom from the glass trailed by hints of anise, bramble, forest floor and spice. Fresh, juicy dark cherry, strawberry and anise flavours impress with their intensity and supple flow. Notions of forest floor, subtle bramble, dried herb and spicy cedar lend further interest. Excellent power wave and polished tannins. Finishes long, moreish and silky.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
