The Halliday Wine Companion Awards celebrate the best wines in Australia – as chosen by the Halliday Tasting Team. Below, you'll find Australia's best white wines that don't fall into our main varietal categories, along with their scores. Members can also click through to find each wine's detailed review.
"This is one of the most anticipated brackets each year, and this year was no exception. The surge in quality of varieties such as fiano and chenin blanc (the latter coming out on top three years in a row) in such a short period of time begs belief. These are varieties that may very well require their own categories next year but, for now, they make up the bones here." – Katrina Butler
Before you dive into this exhaustive list, you can get to know the current winner of our Other Whites and Bends of the Year award – the 2023 Kroos Chenin Blanc from tripe.Iscariot.
