About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazBest's Great Western Thomson Family Shiraz is one of Australia's truly great wines, and a Victorian icon. Sourced from 15 rows of pre-phylloxera vines that are over 140 years old, the Thomson Family Shiraz has been classified as 'Outstanding' in Langton's Classification of Australian Wine. The vineyard was first planted by Henry Best in 1866 and first indentified as 'Hermitage'. The Thomsom Family Shiraz was first bottled in 1993, 100 years after the Thomson family first settled in the area and is a wine of great concentration and balance. Thomson Family is only made in the exceptional years; the 2006 showing wonderfully lush and plush fruits with brilliant supporting acid and oak integration.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

...fragrant bouquet with spice, pepper and black cherry fruit, then a glorious silken, supple palate...tannin and oak contribution perfectly judged.
