Bin No. 1 is a classic, cool climate, aromatic Shiraz, made in a style that is perfumed, spicy and peppery, yet well balanced with no overt dominance of alcohol. It’s a great match with food – particularly dishes like spring lamb.
Inspired by the great Shiraz wines of the world often made with some viognier. This wine contains a small amount of Viognier, which helps brighten the colour, lift the aromatics and polish the Shiraz flavours on the palate.
This delicious recipe usually takes two people to cook. In the case of our family it’s the family favourite of Chris and Viv Thomson. Viv is the grill expert, and Chris is the undisputed kitchen queen. A perfect match with our shiraz. Get the recipe.
This lamb shank recipe is winter comfort food at its best. Chris Thomson still uses an old Pyrex 250ml cup measure that belonged to Grandma Thomson. Chris’s tips? Before adding the wine, bring it to the boil (the alcohol evaporates!) and it will impart a more mellow flavour. Cook and enjoy this dish with Best’s Bin No. 1 Shiraz.
Best’s Wines today released the 2011 Great Western Bin No. 1 Shiraz and the 2012 vintage of the Great Western Riesling. From vineyards in Victoria’s Great Western region, Best’s has been continually producing exceptional wines with great longevity since 1866.
What makes a wine iconic? Many wines would like to claim icon status but we believe we have something unique with our Bin No. 0 Shiraz given the source of the fruit and history of this wine.
