Best's Wines Great Western is a family-owned and operated winery founded in 1866. It possesses some of the oldest and rarest vines in the world, including the historic Nursery Block with almost 40 different grape varieties and the 1868 plantings of Shiraz and Pinot Meunier, which are among Australia's most notable vineyard resources.

The pedigree of these historic vineyards allows the winery to make elegant, finely structured wines with great intensity and balance. Shiraz, Cabernet and Riesling are their specialties, and they also produce small-parcel wines available for tasting and purchase at their cellar door and online. The winery offers shipping across Australia, a Wine Club, and a monthly newsletter called The Thomson Times.
