"A succulent and elegant Australian dry riesling with tons of crisp pear, white-peach and white-flower aromas. Very good concentration and excellent balance on the medium-bodied palate. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"#39 Best 50 Wines of 2023: 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."

"The fruit for this 2022 Riesling is from the Great Western region in Victoria. The mother vines were planted in 1866 in the Nursery Block, a proud and very long history behind what is now a routinely great value wine. On the nose, salted lemon flesh, grapefruit, Granny Smith apples, talc and spring flowers adorn the aromas, while the palate falls in syncopated step. The palate has a deceptive richness that belies the light nose, while the finish lingers well beyond the wine itself. Wonderful, excellent and impressive."
