Best's Kindred Spirits Pinot Meunier

Wine information: Best’s has been producing wine in the Great Western wine region of Victoria for over 140 years. Only 2 families have owned Best’s since it was founded – wines were first made by the Best family in 1866 and the estate was bought by the Thomson family in 1920. For the past 50 vintages fourth generation vintner Viv Thomson has been in charge of crafting Best’s wines, taking the “best” of modern innovation and blending it with tradition to arrive at wonderfully balanced and distinct Aussie wines. Best’s is now run by Viv’s son, Ben Thomson the fifth generation of the Thomson family. The headquarters of Best’s is located at “ Concongella very close the Great Western and “Salvation Hills” at Rhymney. The unique terroir at Great Western contributes to the success of Best’s - the land along the Concongella creek is flat with powdery loam overlaying a deep clay sub-soil while newer plantings are sited on frost free hills. A long, slow-ripening period and continental climate are characteristics of Great Western.

Tasting Notes: Best's Kindred Spirits Pinot Meunier has nice cherry / berry flavours with a hint of spice. Good medium weight, with fine tannins and a long finish.
