    2015/16 MATTHEW JUKES’ 100 BEST AUSTRALIAN WINES 2015/16 The Twelfth Edition Welcome to my 100 Best Australian Wines list for 2015/16. As always, this century of greats is the result of exhaustive tastings held in the UK and Australia over the last twelve months. It represents the finest one hundred Australian wines available on the shelves in the UK for the coming year. It is designed as a balanced, modern collection of all styles of wine, including sparklers, whites, one rosé, reds, sweet and fortified wines. I endeavour to cover all price points and as many regions as possible in an effort to give you a complete Australian ‘wine list’ for the next twelve month’s worth of entertaining, cellar-building and championing. This document is, in effect, my snapshot of what is going on in Australia right now at the highest echelons of winemaking skill. This is the first year in which I will sell the 100 Best Australian Wines booklet on my website, in pdf form. If you come along to any of my 100 Best Roadshow events, you will be given the 100 Best booklet as part of your tasting experience. WORTHY OF NOTE Continued excellence - There only 7 wineries which have appeared in every single 100 Best List since its inception and they are - De Bortoli, Fox Gordon, McWilliam’s, Penfolds, The Lane Vineyard, Tyrrell’s & Yalumba.
