For almost 40 years, the Halliday Wine Companion, founded by James Halliday, has served as the definitive guide to Australian wine. This week, Halliday Wine Companion announced the highly anticipated release of its Top 100 Wines of 2024, proudly presented by Sense of Taste.

Halliday Wine Companion Head of Tasting Katrina Butler said: “We are delighted to present this year’s Top 100 Wines, highlighting the extraordinary diversity of Australian wine regions, each to be celebrated in their own right. These wines exemplify the quality and craftsmanship that define our wine industry.”
The wines are highlights from the tasting season and showcase the diversity that Australian wine has to offer. The lists celebrate value, focus on availability of the selected wines, and most importantly, include wines for any budget.
The Top 100 Wines span a variety of categories: Australian sparkling, White wines under $40, White wines over $40, Red wines under $50, Red wines over $50, and the inaugural Taster’s Pick. The Taster’s pick sees each member of the Tasting Team nominate their top wine of the year.
