The 2025 Halliday Top 100 Wineries celebrates the best producers in Australia right now. Below is the list of wineries ranked from 51 to 75 from across Australia.
This year's list champions six producers from Western Australia, with Nocturne, L.A.S. Vino, Pierro, Stella Bella Wines and Domaine Naturaliste all flying the flag for Margaret River, plus the overachieving Frankland Estate from Frankland River.
South Australia plays a hand of multiplicity, from the Adelaide Hills-based Murdoch Hill, to the long-established, family-owned Clare Valley winery, Jim Barry Wines. Coriole, Bleasdale Vineyards, Paralian Wines, Clarendon Hill and Tapanappa each get a look in, too.
The balance lands with Hunter Valley and Victoria. We couldn't break up the family that is First Creek Wines and Silkman Wines, and as such you will find them tied at 57. The impressive portfolio of Audrey Wilkinson saw them waltz into the Top 100 for the very first time at number 53. Serrat, Toolangi, Medhurst and Mayer raise the banner for the Yarra Valley, as do Patrick Sullivan, Garagiste, Savaterre, and Fighting Gully Road for the Gippsland, Mornington Peninsula and Beechworth regions.

51. Bleasdale Vineyards
Langhorne Creek, South AustraliaEven though Bleasdale was first planted in 1850, and the string of awards it has is more than impressive, it can feel like a bit of an underdog. Langhorne Creek has never had the same cachet as more celebrated regions, and with malbec and verdelho as key varieties, perhaps that was reinforced. But you’d be remiss to underestimate it. Bleasdale is one of our most historic wineries, and that celebration of malbec in different guises is one to be lauded, and to be replicated. Of course, they make more than this, with top-tier cabernet sauvignon and blends, peaking with the Inveniam Viam Cabernet Malbec. The 2020 was rated 97 in the 2026 Companion, while the 2023 The Iron Duke Cabernet Sauvignon was one point adrift, the same score as the emblematic Frank Potts from 2023. Ten gold-medal scores in total, and a knockout victory. Much of Bleasdale’s early life was devoted to fortified production, with table red introduced slowly from the 1960s, but it was with the arrival of Paul Hotker in 2007 that it really started to heat up, collecting a clatter of awards, including all the big ones. Today, Nicole Brasier is senior winemaker, bringing with her an impassioned focus on sustainability. It’s a winery in transition, but things are looking smooth.
