Best’s winery and vineyards are among Australia’s best-kept secrets. Indeed the vineyards, with vines dating back to 1867, have secrets which may never be revealed: for example, one of the vines planted in the Nursery Block has defied identification and is thought to exist nowhere else in the world. Part of the cellars, too, go back to the same era, constructed by butcher-turned-winemaker Henry Best and his family. Since 1920, the Thomson family has owned the property, with Ben, the fifth-generation, having taken over management from father Viv. It consistently produces elegant, supple wines; the Bin 0 is a classic, the Thomson Family Shiraz (from vines planted in 1868) magnificent. Exports to the UK and other major markets.
