Some of these varieties have only recently been planted in Australia, others go back to the early days of Australia’s vine growing heritage. In fact, the oldest Dolcetto vines on the planet can be found in Victoria — planted in the 1860s. Here we present a cross-section of wines made from alternative varieties so you can experience them for yourself. Wine £RRP Wine £RRP 1.

  • In the Time It Has Taken James Halliday to Compile His 26 Australian Wine
    In the time it has taken James Halliday to compile his 26 Australian Wine Companions, the Chardonnay grape has emigrated to almost every hill and vale across our viticultural landscape. No other variety has adapted more successfully, from single barrel selections to vast commercial blends. No other inspires such singular focus in our winemakers to sharpen their craft. No other sends vignerons searching, with gold fever, for that next hill, or clone, or aspect. Chardonnay alone explores the breadth and personality of all Australian wine regions. In our tribute to James Halliday, the true patron of fine Australian wine, no other variety would do for this national wine competition. Organised by Wine Yarra Valley, the objective of the James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge is to affirm the quality of Australian Chardonnay and provide a catalyst for people to take a fresh look at this much-loved wine by providing an appropriate platform for the national search to recognize Australia’s finest chardonnay. A Welcome from the Committee Australian chardonnay has never been better. It is a great news story and one about which we should all be proud and excited. The level of support for the inaugural James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge has been overwhelming and we thank all of the exhibitors for getting behind it so enthusiastically. We thank James for his guidance and support in the design and execution of the competition and agreeing to be our patron. We were very lucky to be able to secure one of the most dynamic and talented groups of judges in Australia, literally from coast-to-coast, and thank them for volunteering their time, expertise and camaraderie.

    NATIONAL VINEYARD SCAN 2018 Summary Report Date: 7 June 2019 Report Number: CT-TR-2019-00029 Document Version 1.0 Authors: Anthony Milton, Sebastien Wong, Sarah Hibbard Acknowledgements of project contributions: Adam Gatt, Bruce Hampton, Dale Ward, Eriita Jones, Hayden Hohns, Holly Whittenbury, John Campbell, Joseph Sclauzero, Joshua Kirkman, Juan Deng, Kristijan Ramesa, Lisa Neldner, Lucas Sargent, Mark McDonnell, Michael Rocca, Peter Bailey, Peter Kinne, Sandy Hathaway, Seth Thuraisingham, Scott Sleep, Travis Muirhead. Consilium Technology Pty Ltd ABN 44 143 250 882 1102/147 Pirie St, Adelaide SA 5000 [email protected] National Scan 2018 Foundation Data ​relating to wine production capability is of strategic importance to the Australian wine sector. Vineyard planting data was last made available by the Australia Bureau of Statistics (ABS) in 2015. Consilium Technology was engaged by Wine Australia in August 2018 to deliver a technical capability to resume the measurement of the production capacity of the Australian wine industry. The capability Consilium Technology developed1 is offered as a product known as GAIA (​http://projectgaia.ai​). This document outlines the methodology of how GAIA was used to deliver the National Scan 2018 and summarises the per-state, per-GI values for vineyard area and vine row length reported for the National Scan 2018. GAIA allows Wine Australia to obtain Foundation Data about the Australian wine industry on an ongoing basis by virtue of the radically different approach used, compared to previous methods. Previously, the ABS was tasked with producing a ​Vineyards Census​. The ABS surveyed industry participants by sending the census to establishments identified as undertaking viticulture activity, with involvement in the survey being voluntary (there was an 87% response rate in 2015).

  • Hall of Fame Initiative and I Congratulate the Names Below for Making This Imperial Grade
    100 Best Australian Wines 2011 matthewjukes.com tastingnotes Welcome to the 100 Best Australian Wines list for 2011. As always, this century of greats is the result of exhaustive tastings over the last twelve months and it represents the finest one hundred Australian wines available on the shelves in the UK this year. 2011 sees the evolution of my Hall of Fame initiative and I congratulate the names below for making this imperial grade. Firstly, these twelve magnificent producers have been the most consistent wineries in the 100 Best Australian Wines list since its inception in 2004, being included in every single list and they are to be applauded. DE BORTOLI, FOX GORDON, JACOB’S CREEK, MCWILLIAM’S, MITOLO, PENFOLDS, PETER LEHMANN, ST HALLETT, THE LANE VINEYARD, TYRRELL’S, WIRRA WIRRA, YALUMBA In addition, the concluding eleven members of the Hall of Fame have made it into all bar one of the 100s and they are: CHAPEL HILL, CULLEN, GROSSET, HARDY’S, JANSZ, KNAPPSTEIN, LEEUWIN, MAJELLA, MOSS WOOD, MOUNT HORROCKS, STONIER It is fascinating to see that boutique operators rub shoulders with giants and while large portfolios like Penfolds have notched up a massive 29 wines over the years, with De Bortoli (24), Yalumba (23) and Peter Lehmann (21) there are also a few notable names like Jim Barry (13), Tim Adams (13), Petaluma (12) and Tamar Ridge (10) who have missed out on two years of lists and so narrowly miss receiving the HoF accolade, but still have performed at a massive run rate more recently. So twenty-three estates gain Hall of Fame status (between them hauling 40/100 spots in this year’s list!) and their portfolios of wines, along with this year’s 100 Best, will be used as the vanguard of my continued push to celebrate and educate the world about fine Australian wine.
