Top-100-test

The inaugural Halliday Wine Companion Top 100 Wineries selected by Campbell Mattinson is a celebration of the best wineries of right now. Below is the list of wineries ranked from one to 25 from across Australia.

"In short, this is a list of producers who know, in their heart and in their head, that consumers don’t owe them a living. This is a list of producers who are prepared to stake their reputation on every single wine they release." – chief editor Campbell Mattinson

1. Oakridge Wines

The best way to drive a brand is to drive it with vineyards. Oakridge has been doing that to an elaborate degree for a long time now, but if anything the wines continue to improve. Indeed Oakridge was for some time renowned as a master of chardonnay, which it still is, but it’s become overwhelmingly clear that Oakridge is a master of pretty much all the varieties in its orbit. Oakridge won the Best Value Winery title at our annual awards this year but really, even when value is put aside, the wines are great, full stop, with no modifier necessary.

Wine to try: Oakridge 864 Drive Block Funder & Diamond Vineyard Chardonnay 2022, Yarra Valley – 98 points, Halliday Wine Companion
