I’m sipping on a delicious aged white from Best’s Great Western. It’s one of the oldest wineries in Victoria and the Concongella Blanc is a field blend from the nursery block that includes 39 varieties, 8 still unidentified. There’s a good portion of Riesling in the mix and as the result the wine has all the beautiful characteristics of aged Riesling, balanced out with the floral notes from the other varieties. It brimming with honey and candied lemon peel and has an amazing texture – like a silk sheet in liquid form. I want a dessert that tastes like this!
The white varieties in the Nursery Block are furmint, palomino, sauvignonasse, chasselas, muscadelle, dourado, ondenc, troyen, gueuche, gouais, calitor blanc, chenin blanc, gordo, piquepoule, bourboulenc, sauvignon blanc, frankenthal, and riesling. There are a couple you might need to look up!
