BestsBin 1 Great Western Shiraz 2011
About this product
Bin No. 1 is a classic, cool-climate, aromatic Shiraz, made in a style that's floral, spicy and peppery yet retains generous fruit characteristics and intensity. It is a well-balanced wine where alcohol does not dominate. This is an elegant wine crafted to drink now, and makes a great accompaniment to food. Grown on the Salvation Hills block, the 2011 Bin 1 was the winner of the 2012 Jimmy Watson trophy.

Full, deep crimson-purple; this richly robed shiraz, flooded with blackberry, licorice and ripe plum reflects the six vintages winemaker Justin Purser spent in France, Italy and NZ dealing with wet growing seasons. He has built a wine with excellent texture and structure making light of the weather. It also reflects the fact that neither the Thompson Family or Bin 0 Shiraz were made in '11. All in all, winning three trophies at the Melbourne Wine Show '12 was a just outcome.
