But before you dive into the exhaustive list of Australia's best chardonnay wines, you can get to know the current winner of our Chardonnay of the Year award – the 2024 Faultline Single Block Chardonnay from Kooyong.
 
"Whittling the Chardonnay shortlist down each year becomes a challenge bordering on terror, such is the extraordinary quality of varietal wines on offer. There was a spread of regions, from Margaret River to Tasmania, the Yarra Valley and Hunter Valley, Gippsland to the Adelaide Hills. But a wine made from a historically important site in Tuerong would take the cake. We congratulate Kooyong and winemaker Tim Perrin on this accolade." – Katrina Butler
