About the wine
Classy, smooth Great Western red from a bloke who grew up with the vines
This elegant red is an exceptional expression of the Great Western region of Victoria, and of Hamish as a 5th generation grower and winemaker. His family is legendary!
A sensationally smooth wine, it’s packed with the flavours of blackberries, dark fruits and violets, hints of dark pepper and herbs and fine long tannins.
Be one of the first to try an amazing wine by a true vigneron with a passion for people and place. He made it just for you!

Serving advice
I love screw tops, but they don't let the wine mature and they need to breath for a while, so open in when you get home from work, or even decant it until dinner is on the table, 1-2 hours should do it.
Food match
A Steak Western from the local hotel, it has a creamy bacon mushroom sauce over a good piece of fillet steak. Or Argentine BBQ lamb.
Contains sulphites
Always check the label

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Hamish Thomson
Hamish is a proud 5th generation grower and winemaker from one of Australia’s oldest wine families. He helped build Best’s Wines into a James Halliday 5-star winery, making multi award-winning wines.
Like most dyed-in-the-wool wine kids, Hamish started out scrubbing barrels and pruning hundreds of unruly vines. As the years passed, his responsibilities grew and he learnt the business inside out and back to front, including a vintage in France to round out his experience.
Hamish loves the whole process of making world-class wine and its connection with a place, but it's the people who drink his wine that really make his day.
