With categories that include Wine of the Year, Best Value Winery, Winemaker of the Year and Best New Winery, James and his team cherry pick the high performers from a range of criteria to offer a true representation of the nation's greatest names in wine. Learn about the latest award winners below, which were announced at the Halliday Wine Companion Awards on August 1. The awards is one of the most anticipated events on the Australian drinks calendar, and industry personalities, media, reviewers, retailers, sommeliers and wine lovers meet in Melbourne for the ceremony each year.
