The Sixteenth Edition of my 100 Best Australian Wines Report represents the finest one hundred Australian wines available on the shelves in the UK for the coming twelve months.

It is designed as a balanced, modern collection of all styles of wine, including sparklers, whites, reds, sweet and fortified wines.

I endeavour to cover all price points and as many regions as possible in an effort to give you a complete Australian ‘wine list’ for the next twelve months’ worth of entertaining, cellar-building and championing. This document is, in effect, my snapshot of what is going on in Australia right now at the highest echelons of winemaking skill.

It goes without saying that every wine listed here has won its place by gaining immense scores in my notes and it has been confirmed by the various UK agents that they all have sufficient stock to see us through to the New Year and hopefully beyond.

As always, these are the only criteria for inclusion. As you read through these notes you will find that there are an additional 145 wines which appear in the copy making a grand total of 245 wines, of 100 Best grade (this highest number ever!), which appear in this Report. It is my great pleasure to bring these amazing wines to your attention.
