We challenged them to nominate two Australian wines that ignited a love for Australian wine or with special significance to them. Struggling to select just two wines each, the group put forward 31 wines! Covering still, sparkling, sweet and fortified, the wines selected demonstrate the breadth and depth of contemporary Australian wine. Let us know which of these wines most inspired you.
