Halliday Awards | 2023 Shortlist | World Wine

For the second consecutive year, judging for this year’s Halliday Wine Companion Awards was conducted by the full Halliday Tasting Team. All eight tasters – James Halliday, Tyson Stelzer, Dave Brookes, Ned Goodwin MW, Jane Faulkner, Erin Larkin, Jeni Port and Philip Rich – were invited to nominate candidates from their respective regions. The winners were then determined through a series of tastings and round-table discussions, meaning each title awarded is the result of a truly collaborative effort.

Below you'll see the collection of wines that we stock from the very best winemakers, viticulturists and wineries the country has to offer, nominated by the Halliday Tasting Team.

Congratulations to all the finalists.
