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.
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 2024 Triolet from Mount Mary – which also won White Wine of the Year and Wine of the Year.
"Aligote, grüner veltliner, roussanne and chenin blanc. This bracket is often one of the most exciting, however this year is the first time that the White Wine of the Year and Wine of the Year has come from this category. For loyal followers of the Yarra Valley stalwart producer, the Mount Mary Triolet (a blend of 65/25/10% sauvignon blanc/semillon/ muscadelle) is both collected and celebrated as fervently as the Quintet. It’s a truly brilliant wine and the premier expression of Australia’s take on the classic Bordeaux Blanc." – Katrina Butler
