Shiraz Bin No 0 Bests Great Western

Shiraz has been produced at Best’s Great Western since the late 1800s, although the actual date of the first Bin 0 Shiraz is lost in the annuals of time. What is certain is that Bin 0 as a descriptor on the wine label has been in use for over 100 years. Best’s Bin 0 Shiraz is produced from the four original Shiraz plantings in the low yielding blocks of the historic Concongella vineyard at Great Western. This includes nineteenth century and mid twentieth century plantings of Shiraz which result in very low yielding vines that produce intense flavours. The fruit is hand-selected, sorted and fermented in small-batches and matured in the finest barrels in our underground cellar.

Bin 0 is made to be an age worthy style and has been the undisputed icon of the Great Western shiraz style for many decades. It is internationally acclaimed as one of Australia’s great Shiraz wines.

"A dark, smoky and earthy shiraz with restrained blackberry fruit, this has impressive depth and a lively acidity that gives it excellent balance and a long fresh finish with plenty of wet stone minerality. From the Concongella Vineyard. Still many years of life ahead of it. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"I'll come right out and say it‡I love the Best's Bin 0 Shiraz. It has it all: it's composed of cool-climate detail and complexity, but it has a baritone of fruit which, on release, is vibrant to the point of luminescent. However, after a couple of years, say here, in the 2019 Great Western Shiraz Bin No 0, you start to see a swathe of savory characters creeping in. There are notes of autumn leaves, mahogany furniture, licorice and roast meat crust. It retains all of its succulent fruit polish but introduces these complexing characters. At circa $50, it routinely offers classy value-for-money drinking (still premium, granted) and ages with grace and poise. What a wine."
