From subsequent plantings in 1944 (since removed), 1978 and 1998, Riesling has become a significant part of our range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiesling vines from Great Western produce elegant, flavoursome and age-worthy Rieslings which stand alongside some of the most outstanding examples of the variety in Australia. In recent times, the style has evolved to match the continental climatic conditions to a beautifully balanced wine with texture and aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe climate and soils in the Grampians wine region suit the Riesling variety perfectly. Our cool, continental location makes for cold winters and strong diurnal (daily) temperature shifts during the growing season. This ensures full ripeness and a generous amount of natural acidity in the grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Riesling at Best's has a proven ability to mature gracefully for 20 years or more. This example is no exception, and its youthful freshness is a good sign for its long life in the cellar.

When we were forced to remove all references to French terms on the labels in the 1980s, Bin No. 0 began its life as Claret No. 0.

This vineyard is home to 19th- and 20th-century Shiraz plantings, which result in intensely flavoured fruit. We hand select, sort and ferment the fruit in small batches followed by intense barrel selection, and stored underground for 18 months.

The wine has a purity of classic Cabernet aromas of sweet blackberries with some overlaid mocha and dark chocolate nuances. The palate is medium to full bodied and the fine layered tannins form a solid core that is perfectly balanced with the fruit flavour and oak. A small addition of Malbec to the wine gives some suppleness and flesh to the mid palate and rounded support to the tannin backbone. This powerfully structured, well balanced wine will age well over the next 10 years.\n\nWA Wine Review\nRay Jordan\nThe purity of the varietal cabernet from Frankland is evident immediately. Has a meaty blackcurrant aroma that is so much part of the variety. But then other characters of dark chocolate, shale and graphite emerge. The palate has a tight firm core in support of the plush concentrated fruit flavours. An excellent wine displaying a high degree of regionality. Cellar 15 years. \nRating: 95","brand":"RO Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46150022168811,"sku":"RO046","price":420.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/7012\/5035\/files\/products-castelli_cab_sauv_melbourne_wine_store_1.png?v=1777537325"},{"product_id":"il-lirus-denmark-chardonnay","title":"Castelli Estate Il Lirus Denmark Chardonnay 2022 x 6","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Denmark |  \u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Il Liris 2022 is our flagship Chardonnay, made to be a true reflection of its Denmark provenance and the terroir from which it comes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-item-element\" data-v-37e96a27=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-v-37e96a27=\"\"\u003eHalliday Wine Companion\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-item-element\" data-v-37e96a27=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-v-37e96a27=\"\"\u003eTop Wines\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-item-element\" data-v-37e96a27=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-description\" data-v-37e96a27=\"\" data-v-5da7f799=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-v-5da7f799=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMellow chardonnay of generosity and freshness.
