Chardonnay isn't just one of the most popular white wines in the world, it's also one of the most diverse. Historically, there were two primary styles of chardonnay, one that is the classic rich, buttery, oak-influenced style, and the other lean, citrusy and fresh. In Australian chardonnay today, more wines tend to fall somewhere in the middle.
The 11 wines below cover the full style spectrum; each has been included in upcoming 2024 Halliday Wine Companion, which will be released on August 3, 2023. These expressions of chardonnay have been scored between from 93 and 96 points by the Halliday Tasting Team.
