Best's Great Western Riesling 2022 Review
Best's has five generations of experience in the Australian town of Great Western. This sub-region in Victoria boasts high-elevation vineyards, making it ideal for Riesling production. And this wine is a great example of how spot-on Australian Riesling can be. It has a bright, angular nose with some juicy fruit to contrast the austerity. A little white pepper flits in the glass as well. Full with a nice juicy grip and some welcome effervescence on the palate.
