Wine information: Best’s Wines 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 Thompson 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. The Best's Victoria range punches above its weight. The wines are predominantly produced from St Andrew's fruit, which is harvested in the cool of the night then transferred 108 nautical miles as the crow flies south to Concongella for crushing, vinification, maturation, blending and bottling. The Victoria wine range is eminently approachable as young wines and generally excellent with Asian cuisine.

Tasting Notes: Best's Late Harvest Muscat is a sweeter style white wine that displays distinct Muscat aromas with a sweet peach and melon palate and a crisp, clean finish.

Food & Wine match: This wine is ideal to serve lightly chilled as an aperitif or to accompany desserts, especially pastry with poached fruits.  It may even accompany pate, soft cheeses or serve icy cold with a hot, spicy curry.
