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, certain vines planted in the Nursery Block have defied identification and are thought to exist nowhere else in the world. Since 1920, the Thomson family has owned the property, with father Viv and sons Ben, Bart and Marcus representing the fourth and fifth generations, consistently producing elegant, supple wines which deserve far greater recognition than they receive. The Bin 0 Shiraz is a classic, the Thomson Family Shiraz magnificent.
The wines are a clear, authentic expression of their origin and variety. That is to say, they have resisted passing winemaking fashions, always showing minimal intervention in the form of oak, extraction techniques, overlong ripening. They embody the deceptively simple ideals of all the world’s classic wines: drinkability, interest, power with grace and age worthiness.

"For over 140 years, Best’s has continuously been producing wine in the Great Western wine region of Victoria. We are one of Australia’s oldest continuously family owned and operated wineries and have some of the oldest vines in Australia, producing extraordinary wines with great longevity. Our flagship wine, Thomson Family Shiraz has been recognised as 'Outstanding' by Australia’s leading wine auction house Langton’s.

Only two families have owned Best’s since it was founded: Wines were first made by the Best family in 1866 and then we bought it from the Best Family in 1920. The fifth generation of Thomson is now running the winery. We strive to make great wines with a strong sense of history and place. Our wines are elegant, refined and a great accompaniment to food.
We hope you discover our Best Kept Secrets by trying our wines.
Cheers,
The Thomson Family"
