The Halliday Wine Companion Awards celebrate the best wines in Australia – as chosen by the Halliday Tasting Team. Below, you'll find Australia's best chardonnay wines, along with their scores. Members can also click through to find each wine's detailed review.
"You might like to approach the below as you would a bucket list, as every wine acknowledged here forms the very apex of Australian chardonnay.
Margaret River,
Beechworth,
Geelong,
Yarra Valley,
Hunter Valley,
Macedon Ranges and many more – we grow this grape magnificently and remarkably well. This year we commend our
Winemaker of the Year Virginia Willcock for her radiant Heytesbury Chardonnay, which subsequently went on to be crowned our White Wine of the Year with ease."
